"This is a major threat to peace and security, it's a clear violation of the Council's resolutions," French ambassador said.
The UN Security Council on Wednesday gathered behind closed doors for an emergency meeting about North Korea's latest ballistic missile test which member states consider a "major threat," the French ambassador said.
In the past, such meetings -- this one called by Estonia and France -- have often resulted in a joint statement by European members of the Security Council.
But France's ambassador to the UN, Nicolas de Riviere, said there was consensus among the group.
"We all condemned what happened, the tests," he said. "Everyone is very concerned about this situation," de Riviere told several journalists after the 45-minute meeting.
