US condemns ‘reckless’ missile launches by North Korea

Nov. 2 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The US State Department has condemned the “reckless” launches carried out by North Korea in recent hours and which have flown over the maritime demarcation line between the two Koreas for the first time since the war.

A spokesman has rejected the launch of more than twenty missiles into South Korean waters, which has set off all the alarms in Seoul, which has had to activate anti-aircraft sirens on one of its islands.

Thus, he has indicated in statements to the Yonhap news agency that the act represents a “violation” of the current pacts and “threatens stability and peace in the region.” “The United States continues to try to establish a sincere and consistent dialogue with North Korea, which refuses to compromise,” she said.

In this sense, he has asserted that the United States “continues to work with its allies to limit the development of illegal weapons” by Pyongyang and curb “security threats” on the Korean peninsula.

The United States Indo-Pacific Command, which oversees the US military deployment in the area, said in a statement that “consultations with allies have begun in this regard.”
