North Korea threatens South after firing missile

 North Korea's embassy in Beijing issued a fresh warning to the new South Korean administration of Moon Jae-in, warning Seoul against strengthening the security alliance with "foreign powers" like Japan and the United States.


"Anyone who follows the lead of foreign powers, and distances himself from a unitary people in the pursuit of selfish interests and desires, cannot avoid the harsh judgment of the people," a representative at the diplomatic mission based in China told reporters in Beijing, South Korean news agency Yonhap reported.

The statement comes a day after North Korea tested a ballistic missile that it claimed could be mounted with a "large-sized nuclear warhead" and capable of reaching the continental United States and U.S. operations in the Pacific.
