V-Council condemns North Korea missile test

new york - The United Nations Security Council has taken a stand against Monday's latest rocket launches in North Korea. The Security Council condemns the missile test of the communist country and warns that launches contribute to the development of nuclear weapons transport. In addition, the tests increase the tensions that are already high in the area in and around the Korean Peninsula.

North Korea launched a ballistic missile that disappeared from Russia on Sunday. The rocket would have been launched near Kusong, in the province of Pyongan. After a flight of over seven hundred kilometers, the projectile landed in the Japanese Sea.
