Minister for Asia, Amanda Milling said:

The UK condemns the latest launch of a ballistic missile by North Korea; a clear breach of UN Security Resolutions.

This repeated escalation of testing is deeply damaging for regional security and stability.

We urge North Korea to refrain from illegal launches, return to dialogue swiftly and to abandon its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes in a complete, verifiable and irreversible manner.
