Eleven countries have condemned North Korea’s most recent ballistic missile launch, after Pyongyang’s state media claimed that it had conducted an “important test” on Sunday for developing a “reconnaissance satellite.”
U.S. deputy ambassador Jeffrey DeLaurentis issued a joint statement on Monday on behalf of 11 countries–the United States, Albania, Brazil, France, Ireland, Norway, the United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea–urging the U.N. Security Council to be unified in condemning North Korea’s “unlawful acts.”
