The UN Security Council on Friday strongly condemned North Korea’s latest missile test and threatened to impose new sanctions
against Pyongyang for its “highly destabilising behaviour.”
In a unanimous statement, the council demanded that North Korea “conduct no further Nuclear tests” and said Pyongyang’s “illegal missile activities” were “greatly increasing tension in the region and beyond.”
The council threatened to “take further significant measures including
sanctions” to address the
crisis of North Korea’s missile launches.
While previous statements have warned of further measures, the agreed text made specific mention of sanctions, signalling a tougher stance from the council.
