Russia and China have urged North Korea to “freeze” its missile and nuclear programmes after it claimed to have successfully tested its first intercontinental ballistic missile.
Both countries also called for a simultaneous suspension of US-South Korea large-scale military exercises.
North Korea said its missile could hit anywhere in the world.
But while Pyongyang appears to have made progress, experts believe the device cannot accurately hit a target.
Despite the North Korean claim, both the US and Russia said the missile presented no threat to either country.
