The United States Department of State condemned on Saturday North Korea's latest ballistic missile launches.
"Like all other DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] ballistic missile launches in recent years, these launches violated multiple UN Security Council resolutions, and posed a threat to regional and international peace and security," a State Department spokesperson told Yonhap and added that Washington is working with allies, including South Korea, to "best engage the DPRK, deter aggression, and coordinate international responses to the DPRK's ongoing and dangerous provocations."
The comments come after Pyongyang said it launched short-range ballistic missiles to test a new autonomous navigation system earlier this week.
