U.S., 10 Other Countries Kick As North Korea Launches Missile

At least eleven countries including United States have condemned the North Korea’s renewed missile test over the weekend.

North Korea had on Saturday fired a single ballistic missile into waters off the east of the Korean Peninsula, according to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), the country’s ninth such test of the year.

Condemning the launch, the U.S., Albania, Australia, Brazil, France, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, South Korea and Britain in a joint statement released Monday, noted that Pyongyang “violated multiple Security Council resolutions.’

The UN Security Council was also criticized by the countries, saying it “continues to remain silent’’ as North Korea escalates its destabilising actions.
