The European Union on Monday called on North Korea to stop fueling «military tensions» after its latest ballistic missile launch and recent drone incursions outside its borders.
«Korea’s continued violation of UN Security Council resolutions and recent statements indicating that it intends to continue such illegal actions do not help the (North Korean) people,» EU foreign affairs spokesman Peter Stano said in a statement.
North Korea launched three new short-range ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan, also known as the East Sea, on Saturday morning, a day after Seoul successfully carried out a solid-fuel space launch.
Pyongyang fired around 70 ballistic missiles in 2022, including eight intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), and three cruise missiles, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency counted on New Year’s Eve.
