The United States has strongly condemned the North Korea for launching three ballistic missiles in direction of the Japanese Sea, said the official representative of the US Department of State John Kirby.

In recent months, the North Korea has launched missiles, thus violating a number of resolutions of the UN Security Council, which prohibit the North Korea to use ballistic missile technologies .

As Kirby stated the US will raise that issue at the United Nations’ and at the upcoming East Asia Summit , calling on the international community to bring the North Korea to responsibility for its provocative actions. The statement made urges the North Korea to refrain from actions and rhetoric that will increase tensions in the region , as well as to take certain steps to implement the obligations they had undertaken.
