It wasn't immediately clear what kind of missile was test-fired from the east coast city of Sinpo. The type of missile is still being assessed. "We are fully prepared to handle it", Han said. "It's not the DPRK but the US and Trump that makes trouble".
Meanwhile, Vice President Pence is traveling to South Korea this weekend.
Trump tweeted, "I explained to the President of China that a trade deal with the US will be far better for them if they solve the North Korean problem!"
South Korea's military also detected the failed launch.
The official said plans could change in the unlikely event a North Korean missile targets South Korea, Japan or US territory.
An influential Washington think tank estimated Friday that North Korea could already have up to 30 bombs.
He added: "We will go to war if they choose".
North Koreans offer flowers in front of a mural of late leaders Kim Il Sung, left, and Kim Jong Il on Friday, April 14, 2017, in Pyongyang, North Korea.
According to the South Korean news Agency Yonhap, North Korea displayed what appeared to be an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) during the parade.
The parade, the annual highlight of North Korea's most important holiday, came amid growing global worries that North Korea may be preparing for its sixth nuclear test or a major missile launch, such as its first flight test of an ICBM capable of reaching US shores.
According to Han, Trump is only, "making trouble" with his "aggressive" tweets.
Celine Dion says she STILL talks to her late husband
She's glad she agreed to sing for the new Disney film - because it gave her an emotional full circle moment. She explained to The Sun newspaper: "They're really well because I'm strong".
North Korea put its military might on display during a parade in the heart of Pyongyang while the regime showed off some of its latest arsenal.
Against the backdrop of rising tensions with the United States, North Korea showed off new missiles in a military parade Saturday marking the birth of the country's founding leader, Kim Il Sung.
China, North Korea's sole major ally and neighbor which nevertheless opposes its weapons program, on Friday again called for talks to defuse the crisis.
"I don't think a strategy that relies on pressuring North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons is going to work", he told Fox News. North Korea's official name is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. We'll have to wait and see whether this is the right approach. At the other end of the spectrum, they looked at the notion of accepting North Korea as a nuclear state.
The United States was reportedly ready to strike North Korea if US officials became convinced the country would carry out its test, and the Trump administration said its "strategic patience" with the country has run out.
Several KN-08 missiles were rolled out on trucks at the parade.
North Korea has continued to break its global obligations by test-firing ballistic missiles despite being hit with two rounds of United Nations sanctions after a pair of nuclear tests in 2016 alone.
Han dismissed the suggestion Trump made previous year during his presidential campaign that he was willing to meet Kim Jong Un, possibly over hamburgers.
Trump acknowledged on Sunday that the softer line he had taken on China's management of its currency was linked to Beijing's help on the North Korea issue. This year Kim Jong Un indicated that his nation is in the final testing phase of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) that could potentially hit the US mainland. US satellite imagery suggests the country could conduct another underground nuclear test at any time.
The parade also featured North Korea's new solid-fuel missiles, which can be fired from land or under the sea.
The North also showed off various other ballistic missiles including what it claims to be a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM).
