North Korea may grow more hostile next year unless diplomacy resumes, the South’s unification minister has warned while urging renewed efforts to restart talks with Pyongyang.

In its latest weapons test, North Korea launched one ballistic missile toward the Sea of Japan, also known as the East Sea, according to the South’s military.

North Korea denounced the Trump administration’s latest sanctions targeting cybercrimes that help finance its illicit nuclear weapons program, accusing the United States of harboring “wicked” hostility toward Pyongyang and vowing unspecified countermeasures.
