In TV statements on Sunday, Pyongyang hit back at the US, warning it against what it calls “military adventure” and the use of tougher sanctions.
North Korea claims it has been forced to develop long-range missiles and nuclear weapons because of what it calls “hostile intent” by Washington.
Pyongyang’s missile test came a day after the US Senate approved a package of new sanctions against North Korea, Russia and Iran.
