BRUSSELS, BELGIUM – NATO condemned North Korea’s ballistic missile test conducted August 3, which caused one missile to land in Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone.
A NATO official said “this is yet another in a series of missile tests in clear and direct violation of several United Nations Security Council Resolutions, including Resolution 2270, which require that North Korea cease all activities related to its ballistic missile programme.
“The persistent provocative behaviour of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is of deep concern and undermines international security.”
NATO called on Pyongyang leaders to immediately cease and abandon all its existing nuclear and ballistic missile activities in a complete, verifiable and irreversible manner.
“North Korea should re-engage in international talks and refrain from any further provocative actions,” the official said.
