U.S. urges sanctions enforcement after North Korea’s missile launch
The HinduThe United States urged all nations to enforce sanctions on North Korea, saying it violated U.N. Security Council resolutions with a launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile. "The United States strongly condemns the Democratic People's Republic of Korea for its test of an intercontinental ballistic missile," National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said, confirming South Korea's account of the launch on November 3 local time. State Department spokesman Ned Price said the launch, which follows a volley of missiles the day before, marked a "clear violation" of United Nations Security Council resolutions that prohibit ICBM launches. The launches show North Korea's threat to "its neighbors, the region, international peace and security and the global non-proliferation regime," Mr. Price said.
