North Korean leader Kim Jong-un
North Korea has criticised the US's plan for a futuristic 'Golden Dome' missile to shield, saying it could "turn outer space into a potential nuclear warfield".
The defence system, which President Donald Trump plans to unveil by the end of his term, is aimed at countering next-generation aerial threats to the US, including ballistic and cruise missiles.
State media said North Korea's foreign ministry slammed the plan as "the height of self-righteousness [and] arrogance".
It accused Washington of being "hell-bent... to militarise outer space and warned that the plan might spark "a global nuclear and space arms race".
