The reclusive state rejects United Nations and unilateral sanctions by other states against its weapons program as an infringement of its right to self defence and says the program is necessary to counter USA aggression.
"North Korea's continuous provocative actions will cause its own isolation and it will be facing strong punishment from our military, South Korea and United States alliance and the global community", a statement from the Joint Chiefs said. "Pacific Command stands behind our ironclad commitment to the security of our allies in the Republic of Korea and Japan".

They are reportedly ready to offer help to North Korea to control malaria in the state and has also clarified the programme in which a civil group is set to visit Kim Jong Un's country. KCNA cited Kim as ordering officials to mass-produce and deploy the system all over the country so as to "completely spoil the enemy's wild dream to command the air".
South Korea President Moon Jae-In scheduled a meeting of the national security council to assess the launch from their neighbor.
