North Korean leader Kim Jong-un oversees the first test firing of a 'new-type large-caliber multiple launch guided rocket system', North Korean state media reports
The test verified the combat effectiveness of the overall system, and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un predicted"it would be an inescapable distress to the forces becoming a fat target of the weapon", state news agency KCNA said.
Britain, Germany and France have asked the United Nations Security Council to meet behind closed doors on Thursday on North Korea's latest missile launches, diplomats said. "We stress a series of missile launches do not help ease tensions in the Korean Peninsula and urge the North to refrain from such acts," they said in a statement.
Pyongyang has warned the negotiations could be derailed by Washington and Seoul's refusal to scrap the annual manoeuvres between their forces.
