N Korea warns US against shooting down its missile tests

North Korea has said that any move to intercept and shoot down its test missiles would be considered “a declaration of war”.

The statement on Tuesday by Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, cited a South Korean media report that said the United States planned to shoot down Pyongyang’s intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) if the weapons were test-launched towards the Pacific Ocean.
