North Korea will continue to test missiles, a senior official has told the BBC in Pyongyang, despite international condemnation and growing military tensions with the US. <br />"We'll be conducting more missile tests on a weekly, monthly and yearly basis," Vice-Foreign Minister Han Song-ryol told the BBC's John Sudworth. <br />He said that an "all-out war" would result if the US took military action. <br />Earlier, US Vice-President Mike Pence warned North Korea not to test the US. <br />He said his country's "era of strategic patience" with North Korea was over. <br />Mr Pence arrived in Seoul on Sunday hours after North Korea carried out a failed missile launch. <br />Tensions have been escalating on the peninsula, with heated rhetoric from both North Korea and the US. <br />Mr Han told the BBC: "If the US is planning a military attack against us, we will react with a nuclear pre-emptive strike by our own style and method." <br />- BBC -
