We condemn the three ballistic missile launches conducted by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) on 26 August 2017 in breach of UN Security Council Resolutions, and to the further detriment of the already tense situation in the region.

We call upon the DPRK to abide by the UN Security Council Resolutions and to refrain from provocative actions that would lead to added escalation in the region.
