North Korea says will use force against pressure

SEOUL, July 6 (Reuters) North Korea today said it would continue to conduct missile tests and would use force against anyone trying to pressure the reclusive state to halt the launches, South Korea's Yonhap news agency said.

The tests conducted on Wednesday by Pyongyang's military were not related to stalled six-party talks aimed at ending its nuclear weapons programmes, Yonhap quoted a North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman as saying on KRT state television.
