An undated picture released from North Korea's official news agency on Saturday shows North Korean leader Kim Jong Un waving to what the agency says are developers of a medium-range missile. U.S. officials traveling with President Trump in Saudi Arabia noted that the system used in Sunday’s launch had a shorter range than missiles fired in three previous tests. But the U.S. has repeatedly admonished North Korean leader Kim Jong Un over his drive to improve his reclusive country's missile technology. South Korea’s new president, Moon Jae-in, who took office this month, convened a meeting of top security officials to discuss Sunday’s launch. North Korea deemed last week's test a success, saying the missile, capable of carrying a heavy warhead, achieved a longer flight and greater altitude than in previous tests.
