North Korea threatens Japan with 'real ballistic missile'

North Korea has branded Japan's PM Shinzo Abe an "imbecile" and "political dwarf", accusing him of mislabelling its latest weapons test. Mr Abe condemned the North for "repeated launches of ballistic missiles" after two projectiles were fired on Thursday.

But the North insisted it was testing a "super-large multiple-rocket launcher". On Saturday, state media said Japan "may see what a real ballistic missile is in the not distant future". North Korea is banned from firing ballistic missiles under UN Security Council resolutions. [...] The North fired what observers in South Korea called two "unidentified projectiles" from its South Hamgyong province into the Sea of Japan on Thursday. [...]

The projectile is believed to have been a KN-25, a rocket many analysts consider to be a "ballistic missile" due to its large size, and because it follows an unpowered ballistic trajectory for part of its flight.
