UPDATED. Seoul condemns the recent ballistic missile launches by the North as a 'clear violation' of a UN Security Council resolution.
SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea fired a short-range ballistic missile towards the sea off the east coast of the Korean Peninsula on Sunday, March 19, according to South Korea and Japan, the latest in a barrage of weapons tests from the nuclear-armed state.
Seoul has condemned the recent ballistic missile launches by the North as a “clear violation” of a United Nation Security Council resolution. The U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said Sunday’s launch does not pose an immediate threat to U.S. personnel or its allies. But the recent missile launches highlight the destabilising impact of Pyongyang’s unlawful weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs, it said in a statement.
