North Korea fires another missile after UN Security Council meeting about its weapons, South Korea says
North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles into the waters off the east coast of the Korean Peninsula on Thursday morning local time, according to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff -— a move likely to escalate tensions in the area after a series of shows of military might this week. Originating from the Samsok area of North Korea’s capital Pyongyang, according to the South Korean statement, it was North Korea’s sixth ballistic missile launch event in the past two weeks.
Speaking at the council, US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield accused Russia and China, without naming them, of enabling North Korea. North Korea has “enjoyed blanket protection from two members of this council. These two members have gone out of their way to justify the DPRK’s repeated provocations and block every attempt to update the sanctions regime,” she said.
