New York, Apr 16 (Just Earth News/IBNS): The United Nations Security Council has strongly condemned the firing of a ballistic missile earlier on Friday by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and urged the country to refrain from further actions.

“Although the DPRK's ballistic missile launch was a failure, this attempt constituted a clear violation of UN Security Council resolutions 1718 (2006), 1874 (2009), 2087 (2013), 2094 (2013) and 2270 (2016),” said a press statement issued by the 15-member body.

The members of the Security Council reiterated that the DPRK shall refrain from further actions in violation of the relevant Security Council resolutions and comply fully with its obligations under these resolutions.

In light of these recent violations, the Council emphasized the importance of the work of the Security it's Committee established pursuant to resolution 1718 (2006), and urged all Member States to redouble their efforts to implement the measures imposed in all relevant Council resolutions.

The members of the Security Council reiterated the importance of maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in North-east Asia at large, expressed their commitment to a peaceful, diplomatic and political solution to the situation and welcomed efforts by Council members as well as other States to facilitate a peaceful and comprehensive solution through dialogue.

The Council agreed that it would continue to closely monitor the situation and take further significant measures in line with the Council's previously expressed determination.
