While personally overseeing the test Thursday, Kim said the new ICBM would help deter any military action by the United States, which technically remains at war with North Korea after the 1950-1953 Korean War ended in an armistice. instead of a peace agreement.

Washington has tried to pressure Pyongyang to surrender or reduce its stockpile of nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles, which can hit targets in the United States.

But Kim said his self-defense force “cannot be exchanged or bought with anything” and will stand firm without the slightest hesitation in spite of hard trials and difficulties.

North Korea will continue to build a “strongest and most perfect strategic forceKim said, referring to the country’s nuclear capability.

The United States said on Friday it would push for stronger United Nations sanctions against North Korea over “increasingly dangerous provocations”, but China and Russia signaled their opposition, instead calling for such measures to be relaxed.

North Korea said Thursday’s missile was the Hwasong-17, and Japan and South Korea confirmed flight data showed the projectile flew higher and longer than any previous North Korean test.
