US President Donald Trump said that North Korea "disrespected" China with its latest missile launch.
"North Korea disrespected the wishes of China and its highly respected President when it launched, though unsuccessfully, a missile today. Bad!" Trump tweeted.
Trump has said he is counting on Chinese President Xi Jinping to encourage North Korea to give up its pursuit of ballistic missile and nuclear weapons programs. Trump has also said he thinks Xi will do the right thing.
On Friday, Trump s threatened North Korea with military action if it continues developing nuclear and ballistic missile programs. But he has also said he would prefer to resolve the issue through diplomacy.
The North fired Friday an unidentified type of ballistic missile that exploded just seconds after liftoff, according to South Korea's military.
The US Pacific Command also said that it detected a North missile fired from the Pukchang airfield north of the North's capital Pyongyang, but the missile did not leave North Korean airspace.
