US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has confirmed North Korea has test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile, and called for global action against Pyongyang.
Tillerson described the missile test as new escalation of Pyongyang’s nuclear threat and insisted that the U-S would never accept a nuclear-armed North Korea. Meanwhile, Washington called for an emergency U-N Security Council meeting over the test. The closed-door meeting is set to take place on Wednesday afternoon. North Korea earlier said it successfully tested the Hwasong-14 missile, which can carry a large nuclear warhead. U-N Secretary General Antonio Guterres condemned the move as a QUOTE brazen violation of Security Council resolutions and a dangerous escalation. The European Union also slammed the missile test and threatened punitive measures against Pyongyang. U-S president Donald Trump urged China to take action to end its ally’s missile activity.
