After the tests, Japan severely criticized North Korea on this issue. Its supreme leader Kim Jong-un warned that the successful testing of its medium range missile “Musudan” has shown that it can easily target United States and its engagements in Pacific region.

Han Song Ryol, Director-General of the department of U.S. affairs at North Korea’s Foreign Ministry gave his first ever interview to the American news media and echoed similar thoughts as his leader. He blamed United States for North Korea’s current state of affairs. He commented that United States should stop their military threats; sanctions and stop pressurizing North Korea. They will not change its aggressive role if US continue such activities. He alleged that it would be like US putting a gun on their head and asking for their help.
