(VOVworld) – The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has said it will continue to push ahead with further strategic guided-missile tests, regardless of US criticism that the tests are provocative acts.

North Korea said it will test-fire more missiles

A spokesman for the Korean People's Army (KPA) Strategic Force called the tests a "legitimate exercise" of sovereignty. Pyongyang said the US’s reaction to Pyongyang’s tests was unfair, especially when the US had test-fired ballistic missiles and helped South Korea to develop 800-km-range missiles.
