UNITED NATIONS, March 23 (Xinhua) -- The UN Security Council on Thursday strongly condemned the most recent ballistic missile launch conducted by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on March 21 and a ballistic missile engine test on March 19.
"The launch and engine test are in grave violation of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's international obligations under United Nations Security Council resolutions 1718 (2006), 1874 (2009), 2087 (2013), 2094 (2013), 2270 (2016), and 2321 (2016)," according to a Security Council press statement.
The members of the Security Council deplore all the DPRK ballistic missile activities, including this launch and the engine test, noting that such activities contribute to the DPRK's development of nuclear weapons delivery systems and increase tension in the region and beyond as well as the risk of a regional arms race," it says.
