North Korea said on Monday it had successfully conducted a mid- to-long-range missile test and would continue such launches "any time, any place", defying UN Security Council resolutions and warnings from the United States.

North Korea, which regularly threatens to destroy the United States in a sea of flames, has accused Washington of pushing the Korean peninsula to the brink of nuclear war with recent military drills with South Korea and Japan.

The North's KCNA news agency said Sunday's test launch verified the homing feature of the warhead that allowed it to survive "under the worst re-entry situation" and accurately detonate.

It also tested the North's capability to carry a "large-size heavy nuclear warhead", KCNA said.

However, with all due respect too South Korea's new president talks with this regime seem like a waste of time.

They are behaving this way to get concessions from your country. If you give them something they might make nice temporally but they will resume this behavior because they know extortion works.
