2017 in North Korea

One of these was the country's first successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), Hwasong-14.

Two missiles were launched over Hokkaido in the Japanese archipelago, in August and in September 2017.

This timeline categorizes 2017 events relevant to North Korea in two groups: North Korea's own actions and internal developments (left column), and the international community interacting or reacting to North Korea (right column).

And when the United Nations Security Council approves a resolution admonishing North Korea in connection with its tests, that is an event originating from an outside entity but directly relevant to the country, and is listed on the right side.

Note that the dates mostly reflect the publication of the news.
