North Korea responded to the “vicious” sanctions by vowing to inflict “the greatest pain” the U.S. has ever suffered.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson condemned the launch in a statement released Thursday evening. “These continued provocations only deepen North Korea’s diplomatic and economic isolation,” he warned, adding that the recent U.N. sanctions “represent the floor, not the ceiling, of the action we should take.”

Tillerson also called directly on China and Russia to “indicate their intolerance for these reckless missile launches by taking direct actions of their own.”

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe also urged the international community “to come together and send a clear message to North Korea that it is threatening world peace with its actions.”

Despite years of international pressure, North Korea has made rapid technological advancements in its nuclear and missile capabilities, particularly this year.
