"And we're trying to convey that to the North Koreans".
However, the Pentagon says missile tests from Pyongyang do pose a threat to commercial aircraft and ships in the area.
An ejection test examines the "cold-launch" system of submarine missiles.
That helps prevent flames and heat from the engine from damaging either the submarine or any nearby equipment used to launch the missile.
While North Korea has declared that the Hwasong-14's latest launch confirmed important features of the missile, such as its range and the warhead's atmospheric re-entry, it also described the rocket as "landing in the target waters in the open sea".

"North Korea does not have any unique technology, it's impossible".
At the same time, South Koreans fear the possibility of a pre-emptive strike by the USA against the North, which could trigger devastating consequences even without Pyongyang resorting to nuclear weapons.
He said if Washington and Pyongyang refuse to reduce tensions and hold new talks as called for in Security Council resolutions "then no matter how capable China is, China's efforts will not yield practical results because it depends on the two principal parties".
