Japan, South Korea, and the United States held trilateral talks on Monday to discuss countermeasures to North Korea’s “series” of ballistic missile launches—the fourth already this month.

During the call, U.S. special envoy for North Korea Sung Kim expressed America’s concern over “the latest in a series of ballistic missile launches by the DPRK this month,” U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement.
