Washington on Thursday urged North Korea to forego any further missile tests, following the launch of what may have been a new type of short-range ballistic missile the previous day.

During a regular State Department press briefing, U.S. State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus said Washington wanted negotiations over the DPRK’s nuclear and missile programs back on track.

“We want to have diplomatic engagement with the North Koreans,” Ortagus told reporters.

“We urge no more provocations … This administration is committed to diplomatic engagement with the North Koreans and we continue to press and hope for these working-level negotiations to move forward.”
