USA officials told CNN they did not believe the missile had intercontinental capabilities, and blew up nearly immediately after launch. On Saturday, the North held a large military parade to mark the anniversary of the country's late founder, Kim Il Sung.

Thursday night's strikes - some 60 cruise missiles fired from two ships in the Mediterranean - were the culmination of a rapid, three-day transformation for Trump, who has long opposed deeper US involvement in Syria's civil war. Maryland Sen. Ben Cardin, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, agreed. Neutral countries should investigate whether a chemical weapon was used, and if used, its source should be found, Rouhani said.

Pence also visited USA troops stationed in South Korea. Hours later U.S. Vice President Mike Pence landed in South Korea for talks on the North's increasingly defiant arms program. The US vice president's three-day visit to South Korea began on Sunday. United States cooperation and diplomatic efforts are also important, he told lawmakers, warning that Kim's regime is believed to hold a "substantial" amount of chemical weapons and may be able to place sarin on a ballistic missile.

She told CNN's "State of the Union" programme on Sunday, "there's not any sort of option where a political solution is going to happen with Assad at the head of the regime".

Tillerson, who met with Putin earlier Wednesday, deplored the "low level of trust" between the countries, whose relations have dropped to a post-Cold War low over Ukraine and Syria . "U.S. and Russian interests, whether in Syria, toward North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, human rights, etc. are far too different despite President Trump's earlier interest in an understanding", White said.

It follows ballistic missile tests in February and March, as the isolated country defies United Nations sanctions and works on a missile that could deliver a miniaturized nuclear weapon to the continental U.S. North Korea has reportedly fired a ballistic missile on Tuesday and went into waters off the peninsula. A USA defence official later said that the missile was an extended range Scud and had suffered an in-flight failure.

According to the US Pacific Command, the North Korean missile "blew up nearly immediately", adding that its type is yet to be identified. Speculation is mounting that Pyongyang may conduct a sixth nuclear test around the 85th anniversary of the founding of the North Korean army on April 25.

The death toll from the bomb attack on a crowded bus convoy outside Aleppo has reached at least 126 - including the dozens of children - in the deadliest such incident in Syria in nearly a year, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said.

Australia and India both agreed to sign six pacts while trade agreement remained hard to pin down. "Both countries remain strongly committed to the breadth of their defence ties, including through ongoing annual staff talks for army, navy and air forces", it stated.
