North Korea recently fired a newly developed ballistic missile from a submarine in its fifth round of weapons tests.

North Korea Vice Foreign Minister Pak Myong Ho criticized the United States for sending warships through the Taiwan Strait.

The statement added that “we did not have the U.S. in mind nor aimed at it.”

The test Tuesday was the fifth round of missile launches since September.

The launch came hours after the U.S. reaffirmed its offer to resume diplomacy on North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.

Separately Monday, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno also proposed stepping up Japan's missile defense capability.
