The United States government has warned North Korea against carrying out any “provocative actions,” after Pyongyang said it was putting the final touches on a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of reaching the US mainland.

The Pentagon issued a toughly worded statement on Sunday, asking “all states” to react and show the North that its actions would have “consequences.”

The warning came only hours after North Korean leader Kim Jong-un announced the regime’s plans to test the new ICBM.
