North Korea announced it has test-fired a new tactical guided weapon with a powerful warhead. This is the first such test since talks between Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un ended without agreement.

The official North Korean KCNA agency did not describe exactly what weapon was tested.Last week, Kim said Trump needed to have the “right attitude” for talks to continue

A similar test last November was seen as an attempt to pressure the US.

There has been little progress in nuclear talks since the last summit.

In February, Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un met in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi to discuss denuclearisation, but discussions broke down and both leaders left abruptly.
