Ruling and Opposition United in Strong Condemnation of North Korea's Launch as a Violation of UN Security Council Resolutions

Yoo Sang-beom "Northeast Asia Peace Threat at an Unacceptable Level"
Lee Jae-myung "Useless Actions... Must Be Strongly Condemned"

The ruling and opposition parties jointly criticized North Korea for launching a substance presumed to be a space launch vehicle.

Yoo Sang-beom, chief spokesperson of the People Power Party, warned in a statement on the 31st, "North Korea's projectile provocations, which threaten peace on the Korean Peninsula, will be the worst move."

Spokesperson Yoo said, "This is the 10th launch this year alone and comes about 40 days after the ICBM test launch in April. North Korea's provocations threatening peace on the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia have reached a level that can no longer be overlooked."

He added, "Moreover, this projectile provocation violates the UN Security Council resolution banning all launches using ballistic missile technology, and since it was launched toward the south, it is a serious act threatening peace and stability around the Korean Peninsula."

Spokesperson Yoo stated, "The Presidential Office immediately convened the NSC to establish a response system, and the military is currently analyzing the exact missile specifications and flight distance," adding, "Accurate analysis of the projectile must be prioritized through cooperation with the United States, Japan, and others."

Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, also said at the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly on the same day, "This is a clear violation of the UN Security Council resolution and a completely harmful act that escalates tensions on the Korean Peninsula," and "strongly condemns it."

Park Kwang-on, floor leader of the Democratic Party, also said, "It violated peace on the Korean Peninsula," and "strongly warns North Korea."
