The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) has issued a statement following reports that a missile has been launched by North Korea.
An FCDO spokesperson said:
North Korea’s ballistic missile launch on 9th March is a breach of multiple UN Security Council resolutions. Unlawful ballistic missile launches pose a threat to regional peace and stability.
The UK will continue to call out violations of UNSCRs. We strongly urge North Korea to return to dialogue and take credible steps towards denuclearisation.
