The U.N. Security Council is set to hold emergency talks Monday about North Korea's latest ballistic missile launch,  AFP reported quoting a source in the UN headquarters.

It was noted that the meeting will be closed and will be held on Monday afternoon.

Earlier it was reported the United States, Japan and South Korea requested UN Security Council consultations after North Korea confirmed it had “successfully” tested a ballistic missile yesterday.

 North Korea launched the missile Sunday morning, and South Korean military officials said it traveled about 500 kilometers before landing in the Sea of Japan.

This was the first test since U.S. President Donald Trump took office.

There are still three options of the missile launch:  test of  Donald Trump’s endurance, celebration of birthday of the previous leader of  North Korea Kim Jong Il or a peculiar response to the offer of humanitarian aid by Washington. South Korea, Russia and the European Union also condemned the actions of North Korea.
