SEOUL - North Korea said on Friday its latest missile launch was a warning to South Korean"warmongers" to stop importing weapons and conducting joint military drills, a message that analysts said was also aimed at the United States.
"We cannot but develop non-stop super-powerful weapon systems to remove the potential and direct threats to the security of our country that exist in the south," Mr Kim said, according to state news agency KCNA. The KCNA report did not mention Mr Trump or the United States, but said Mr Kim criticised South Korean authorities for staging joint military exercises, which Mr Trump promised to end after his first meeting with Mr Kim in June 2018.
‘SOLEMN WARNING’ North Korean state newspaper Rodong Sinmun showed photos of the missile launching, Mr Kim looking through binoculars and at screens appearing to show the missile trajectory, and smiling and clapping with his officials. Mr Kim said he was satisfied with the rapid response and low-altitude trajectory of the weapon, which he said would make it difficult to intercept.
At least one of the missiles on Thursday flew much farther, however, suggesting that the North Koreans may have made some modifications since May, Mr Lewis said.
