friday days: US warns North Korea of consequences of missile test 'Christmas gift'Read more North Korea's Academy of Defence Science did not specify what had been tested on Friday, according to The Guardian. Days earlier, the North said it had conducted a very important test at the site, on the country's north-western coast, prompting speculation that it involved a new engine for either an ICBM or a space launch vehicle. The test may have included technologies to improve intercontinental ballistic missiles ICBMs which could potentially reach the continental US. The announcement, on Saturday, comes as North Korea continues to press the Trump administration for significant concessions as it approaches an end-of-year deadline set by its leader, Kim Jong-un, to salvage faltering nuclear negotiations. The announcement suggests that the country is preparing to do something to provoke the US if Washington does not back down and make concessions to ease sanctions and pressure on Pyongyang in deadlocked nuclear negotiations. The spokesman said the successful outcome of the latest test, in addition to one on 7 December, would be applied to further bolster up the reliable strategic nuclear deterrent of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea referring to North Korea's formal name. An unnamed spokesman for the academy said scientists received warm congratulations from members from the ruling Workers' Party of Korea central committee which attended the test, carried out between 10.41 pm and 10.48pm on Friday at the Sohae satellite launching ground, where the North has conducted satellite launches and liquid-fuel missile engine tests in recent years.
