UN chief Guterres condemns reported firing of multiple ballistic missiles by DPR Korea
“Such actions violate Security Council resolutions and seriously undermine regional peace and stability,” Guterres said in a statement issued by his spokesperson in New York.
“The Secretary-General reiterates his call for the DPRK leadership to refrain from further provocations and return to full compliance with its international obligations,” concluded the statement.
This is the latest in a series of reported missile launches by the DPRK, all of which have been condemned by the United Nations.
After urgent closed-door talks last month, the Security Council, condemning a reported incident on 12 February, issued a press statement expressing serious concern that the DPRK conducted these ballistic missile launches after the 15 April, 23 April, 27 April, 28 April, 31 May, 21 June, 9 July, 18 July, 2 August, 23 August, 5 September, and 14 October 2016 launches, as well as the nuclear test of 9 September, “in flagrant disregard of its repeated statements.”
