A man watches a TV news programme at the Seoul Train Station reporting about North Korea's missile launch with a file image of a North Korean missile. North Korean media are often slow to announce such launches, if they announce them at all. Appearing with Trump at a news conference at Trump's estate, Abe condemned the missile launch as "absolutely intolerable." Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and US President Donald Trump spoke to the media following news of the North Korean missile test. South Korean Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn, who is also the acting president, said his country would punish North Korea for the missile launch.
