UN condemns NKorea missile launch

UNITED NATIONS, United States: The UN Security Council on Monday (Tuesday in Manila) unanimously condemned North Korea’s latest ballistic missile test as US President Donald Trump vowed to deliver a strong response to the provocation.

Backed by China, Pyongyang’s main ally, the council agreed on a US-drafted statement describing the test-firing of the missile as a “grave violation” of UN resolutions and threatening “further significant measures.”
