North Korean leader Kim Jong Un inspected the demonstration of a "new-type tactical guided weapon" on Thursday as a warning to South Korea to stop importing high-tech weapons and conducting joint military exercises with the United States, state media KCNA said on Friday.

North Korea test-fired two new short-range ballistic missiles on Thursday, South Korean officials said, its first missile test since Kim and US President Donald Trump agreed to revive denuclearisation talks last month.

The KCNA report did not mention Trump or the US, but it said Kim criticised South Korean authorities for carrying on with joint exercises, which are usually conducted with US troops.

"We cannot but develop nonstop super-powerful weapon systems to remove the potential and direct threats to the security of our country that exist in the South," Kim said, according to KCNA.

He accused South Koreans of "double dealing" for saying they support peace but simultaneously importing new weapons and conducting military drills.

South Korea's leader should stop such "suicidal acts" and "should not make a mistake of ignoring the warning," Kim said.

Kim said he was satisfied with the rapid response and low-altitude trajectory of the weapon, which he said would make it difficult to intercept.

Seoul's National Security Council said on Thursday it believed the missiles were a new type of ballistic missile, but it would make a final assessment with the US.

Ballistic missile tests would be a violation of UN Security Council resolutions that ban North Korean use of such technology. North Korea rejects the restriction as an infringement of its right to self-defence.

    No: i say we gather ALL the leaders in the world together in one room (at least the ones who seem to need to beat their chests and crow) and make them whip their dicks out so we can compare them. Biggest one gets a Slushie for a prize.

    The losers we just go "Tsk, tsk" at them as we slowly shake our heads side to side, then we get them back together again and tell them all to GROW THE FUCK UP and stop being children.

    Jeebuz... grow up people... Kim, Donald, China-guy, Russia-guy: they all needs to be Putin their shit back in their trousers and just get laid. Or piss on a bed. Or get a blow-job from a blue dress because you can't stand your wife. Or whatever.

    But grow. up.
