「米本土射程、深刻な脅威」　北朝鮮ミサイル、１．５万キロ超―岸防衛相

　岸信夫防衛相は２５日の記者会見で、北朝鮮が２４日に発射した新型の大陸間弾道ミサイル（ＩＣＢＭ）について、「単純に計算した場合、１万５０００キロを超える射程となり得る。米全土が射程に含まれることになる」と述べた。その上で、「これまでの一連の発射とは次元の異なる、深刻な脅威だ」と指摘した。
　防衛省によると、今回のミサイルは高角度のロフテッド軌道で発射され、最高高度６０００キロ以上で約１１００キロ飛んだ。岸氏は、北朝鮮が２月２７日と３月５日に発射したミサイルと同型で、２０２０年１０月の軍事パレードで公開された新型ＩＣＢＭとの分析を示した。（2022/03/25-10:59）

North Korea's new intercontinental ballistic missile fired Thursday was apparently capable of reaching anywhere on the U.S. mainland, Japanese Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi said Friday.
   "Simple calculations indicate that (the missile) was capable of covering a distance of over 15,000 kilometers, which means that the entire U.S. mainland was within its range," Kishi told a press conference.
   He added that the missile has posed "a serious threat on a level different" from the times of past launches.
   According to the ministry, the latest missile was launched in a lofted trajectory and traveled around 1,100 kms, reaching an altitude exceeding 6,000 kms.
   Kishi said that Thursday's missile was the same as a new ICBM unveiled at a military parade in October 2020 and the ones launched by Pyongyang on Feb. 27 and March 5 this year.
