UN Says North Korea's ICBM Launch "Only Heightens International Tensions"

[Asia Economy New York=Special Correspondent Joselgina] The United Nations expressed regret over North Korea's launch of three ballistic missiles, including an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) presumed to be an ICBM.

UN spokesperson St?phane Dujarric told reporters on the 25th (local time) that North Korea's missile launches "will only serve to escalate regional and international tensions." The UN's position is that North Korea should halt its nuclear and ballistic missile development in accordance with Security Council resolutions and engage in diplomatic dialogue.

Earlier, North Korea launched three ballistic missiles, including an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), into the East Sea timed to coincide with U.S. President Joe Biden's return from his visits to South Korea and Japan. Analysts interpret this as an expression of dissatisfaction with the North Korea-related responses discussed at the South Korea-U.S. and U.S.-Japan summits, as well as the Quad summit.
