“The EU strongly condemns the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s (DPRK) launch of a ballistic missile on 14 January,” stated an announcement from EU overseas coverage chief Josep Borrell‘s workplace.

“The EU calls on the DPRK to cease all illegal actions that undermine international peace and security in its region and beyond.”

North Korea stated the missile launched Sunday was tipped with a manoeuvrable hypersonic warhead.

Its official Korean Central New Agency stated the launch “never affected the security of any neighbouring country” regardless of it coming days after live-fire workouts close to the maritime border with South Korea, which prompted evacuation orders for some South Korean border islands.

“The EU is ready to work with all partners in promoting a meaningful diplomatic process aimed at the complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula,” it stated.
