On the same day, the White House announced that South Korean President Moon Jae-in had a phone call with his US counterpart Donald Trump just hours after North Korea test-fired a ballistic missile into the Sea of ​​Japan.

During the phone call, the two leaders discussed the alliance's response to the test.

The White House statement said: “Both leaders emphasized the serious threat that North Korea’s latest provocation poses not only to the United States and the Republic of Korea, but also to the world. Both leaders strongly condemned Pyongyang’s reckless campaign to advance its nuclear and ballistic missile programs, stressing that these weapons only serve to undermine North Korea’s security and deepen its economic and diplomatic isolation.”

This is Pyongyang's first ballistic missile launch since September 15, when North Korea fired a medium-range ballistic missile over Japanese territory./.
