US Urges All Nations To Impose Sanctions On N Korea After Missile Launch

"The United States strongly condemns the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) for its test of an intercontinental ballistic missile," National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said.

The United States urged all nations to enforce sanctions on North Korea, saying it violated UN Security Council resolutions with a launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile

"The United States strongly condemns the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) for its test of an intercontinental ballistic missile," National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said, confirming South Korea's account of the launch Thursday local time.

She said that President Joe Biden and his national security team were "assessing the situation in close coordination with our allies and partners."

State Department spokesman Ned Price said the launch, which follows a volley of missiles the day before, marked a "clear violation" of United Nations Security Council resolutions that prohibit ICBM launches.
