The North Korean state media said the 'new weapon' was developed to suit the country's 'terrain condition'.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un supervised a"new weapon" test, state media reported Sunday, the latest in a series of launches that US President Donald Trump has played down as Washington seeks to restart nuclear talks with Pyongyang.

KCNA provided no technical specifications but said Sunday they were a"new weapon" developed to suit the country's"terrain condition". In a statement issued by KCNA on Sunday, the North's foreign ministry said the South's refusal to cancel its joint drills with the US had effectively scuppered any prospect of future talks with Seoul.

"I'll say it again. There have been no nuclear tests. The missile tests have all been short-range. No ballistic missile tests, no long-range missiles," Trump said.
