NATO condemned ballistic missile test by North Korea which resulted in one missile landing in Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone.

“This is yet another in a series of missile tests in clear and direct violation of several United Nations Security Council Resolutions, including Resolution 2270, which require that North Korea cease all activities related to its ballistic missile programme,” Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in a statement.

NATO calls on Pyongyang to immediately cease and abandon all its existing nuclear and ballistic missile activities in a complete, verifiable and irreversible manner. North Korea should re-engage in international talks and refrain from any further provocative actions.
