PYONGYANG: North Korea said it conducted a "very important test” at its long-range projectile launch site as the country declared denuclearisation is off the negotiating table with the US.

The outcome was "successful” and will play a key part in changing North Korea’s strategic position in the near future, the state-run Korean Central News Agency said in a statement Sunday (Dec 8), citing a spokesman at the Academy of the National Defence Science. It didn’t elaborate or say what was tested.
