Kim Jong-un’s North Korea has warned the world that more sanctions and pressure not stop the country but will only make it accelerate its nuclear programme.
In a strongly worded statement, Pyongyang called a new set of UN sanctions “the most vicious, unethical and inhumane act of hostility”. Meanwhile, the presidents of the US and China committed to “maximising pressure” on the North through vigorous enforcement of UN resolutions.
North Korea fired its latest missile over Japan on Friday. It travelled 3,700km (2,299 miles), putting the US Pacific territory of Guam, which North Korea says it has a plan to target, within reach.
