US, Japan request urgent Security Council session on North Korea

The United States and Japan call for an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council on North Korea after Pyongyang carried out its latest missile test, diplomats say.

The meeting is being scheduled in principle for Tuesday afternoon, according to the UN mission of Uruguay, which currently holds the council’s presidency.

North Korea launched a ballistic missile early yesterday, in what was seen as a challenge to South Korea’s new President Moon Jae-In, a liberal who has said he wants to ease tensions with the North.
