US condemns newest North Korean missile launch

The U.S. State Division on Friday denounced North Korea’s launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) hours earlier in violation of United Nations resolutions.

Harris was joined by representatives from Canada, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand and Australia, all of whom condemned the missile launch.

Worth claimed that North Korea’s energy strikes would solely improve cooperation between the U.S. and different nations to make sure the security of the Indo-Pacific area.

“Collectively, with the worldwide group, we name on the DPRK to chorus from additional provocations and have interaction in sustained and substantive dialogue. Our commitments to the protection of the Republic of Korea and Japan stay ironclad.”

On Thursday, shortly after the missile launch, Harris stated that North Korea’s motion “destabilizes safety within the area and unnecessarily raises tensions.”

She added that it was a “brazen violation” of United Nations safety resolutions.
