North Korea: Launching an "intercontinental missile" is our option if Washington makes a wrong decision

North Korea has said that if Washington makes the wrong decision, launching a solid-fueled intercontinental ballistic missile is an option it will take.

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International service: Al Quds al-Arabi wrote: "North Korea's news agency reported that Kim Jong-un expressed his satisfaction with the test of the Hwasong 18 ballistic missile that was launched yesterday. It is a practical demonstration of the real and documented state of the strike capabilities and absolute deterrence of nuclear war that the North Korean armed forces have at their disposal."

According to this report, the leader of North Korea added: "The launch of this missile was an opportunity to clearly show the action that North Korea has prepared and the choice that will be made if Washington makes a wrong decision."

This is despite the fact that America and Western countries have condemned North Korea's missile test.
