The United States has said "all options are on the table" to deal with North Korea.
US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley also denounced North Korean leader Kim Jong-un after the United Nations Security Council discussed Pyongyang's launch of four ballistic missiles on Monday.
"We are not dealing with a rational person," said Haley. "It is an unbelievable, irresponsible arrogance that we are seeing coming out of Kim Jong-un at this time."
She said the administration of US President Donald Trump was reevaluating how it would handle North Korea and that "all options were on the table".
"We are making those decisions now and we will act accordingly," Haley said.
North Korea fired the missiles into the sea off Japan's coast in response to the annual US-South Korea military drills, which Pyongyang sees as preparation for war.
According to the Kyodo News Agency, one of the missiles fell "closer than ever before" from the Japanese coast, around 200km northwest of the country's Noto Peninsula.
