SEOUL, Oct. 16 (Xinhua) -- South Korea on Sunday condemned the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) for its test-launch of an intermediate-range ballistic missile, which was seen as ending in a failure.
Seoul's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the DPRK's launch of a mid-range ballistic missile violated UN Security Council resolutions regardless of whether the launch succeeded or not.
The statement said Seoul strongly denounced Pyongyang's repeated provocations, which posed grave threat to peace and security on the Korean peninsula as well as in the entire international society.
According to South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), the DPRK fired what is believed to be a Musudan missile, which can strike U.S. military base in Guam, on Saturday afternoon from northwestern DPRK.
