WASHINGTON, March 28 (Reuters) - The White House urged North Korea not to conduct any further missile tests, calling such action "not constructive," after Pyongyang test-fired a battery of short-range missiles on Friday.

"The United States believes that North Korea should refrain from testing missiles," White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe said. "This kind of activity is not constructive."

"North Korea should focus on the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and deliver a complete and correct declaration of all its nuclear weapons programs, and nuclear proliferation activities and to complete the agreed disablement," he added.
