EU calls North Korea missile test a ‘threat to international peace’

North Korea’s test-firing of a ballistic missile constitutes a “threat to international peace and security” as Pyongyang ratchets up tensions in the region, an EU spokesperson says.

“This and previous launches constitute a threat to international peace and security and further aggravate tensions in the region at a time when de-escalation is instead needed,” the spokesperson says in a statement.

Pyongyang yesterday fired a ballistic missile in an apparent attempt to test the South’s new liberal president and the US.
