North Korea threatened to “pour further misery” on the U.S. on Monday, exactly 49 years after Pyongyang’s infamous capture of an American intelligence vessel, the USS Pueblo, in 1968, according to the North's state-run outlets.

From 21JAN2017:
The DPRK, a responsible nuclear weapons state, will never remain a passive onlooker to the daily-increasing nuclear war danger on the Korean peninsula. It will redouble its efforts to put an end to the source of nuclear threat and blackmail.
Its test-launch of ICBM is part of a series of measures for bolstering up the self-defensive military capability to cope with the U.S. daily-increasing nuclear war threat.
No matter what others may say, ICBM will be launched anytime and anywhere determined by the supreme leadership of the DPRK.
