North Korea's official news agency said the 'dear leader' Kim Jong Un personally watched the launch of another missile on Sunday. At the request of the US, Japan and South Korea, the UN Security Council will Tuesday on the latest North Korea missile shot. South Korea said it dashed the hopes of the South's new liberal government for peace between the neighbours. The two missile tests in a week complicate plans by South Korea's new President Moon Jae-in to seek ways to reduce tension on the peninsula. "We're early in the stages of applying the economic pressure as well as the diplomatic pressure to the regime in North Korea," Tillerson said.
