Kerry to North Korea: Don't test missile

US Secretary of State John Kerry delivered a stark warning to North Korea on Friday not to test-fire a mid-range missile, while rejecting a new US intelligence report suggesting significant progress in the communist regime's nuclear weapons program.

"If Kim Jong Un decides to launch a missile, whether it's across the Sea of Japan or some other direction, he will be choosing willfully to ignore the entire international community," Kerry told reporters. "And it will be a provocation and unwanted act that will raise people's temperatures." Kerry said the test would be a "huge mistake" for Kim. (AP)
