The secret ICBM mission took place a day after North Korea undertook its sixth nuclear test with the US warning the rogue state is now "begging for war".

The threat of a nuclear war in Asia has been ramped up again after North Korea was spotted moving what appeared to be an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) towards its west coast.
An unidentified intelligence source, cited by South Korea's Asia Business Daily newspaper, said that the rocket started moving on Monday, a day after North Korea's sixth nuclear test.
The missile was observed moving at night in a bid to avoid surveillance, the report said.

South Korea's defence ministry said they were unable to confirm the contents of the report. The ministry said in parliament on Monday that North Korea was considered ready to launch more missiles , including ICBMs, at any time.

The provocative move came as the US Ambassador to the United Nations claimed Kim Jong-un is "begging for war" with President Donald Trump looking at all options in a bid to curtail North Korea's nuclear ambitions.
Speaking at an emergency meeting , Nikki Haley told the UN security council that war "is never something the United States wants" - but "our country's patience is not unlimited ".
She also said it was time for the council to impose "the strongest possible measures" on the secretive nation following its sixth and largest nuclear test.

Her comments came as US President Donald Trump and his South Korean counterpart, Moon Jae- in, agreed to lift the warhead weight limit on South Korea's missiles in the wake of North Korea's latest missile launch.
Ms Haley claimed the incremental sanctions approach of the 15 -member council to North Korea since 2006 had not worked.
Despite our efforts the North Korea nuclear program is more advanced and more dangerous than ever," she told the council.
"War is never something the United States wants. We don't want it now.
"But our country's patience is not unlimited."

War no matter how strong one is, has a side effect on both. North K should also build antidote for its missiles.

I heard that N Korea is finding it difficult to penetrate the US missile defense system from the east, so they are planning on shooting from the west and they want to build a base in Biafra to refuel their intercontinental missiles so that it can reach US.
