North Korea has broken UN resolutions
again in its Thursday teat launch of a solid-fuel
intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) for the first time,
the Italian foreign ministry said Saturday.
Thursday's launch from near the capital Pyongyang was a
breakthrough that the country's leader, Kim Jong-un, warned
would make its enemies "suffer in endless fear", media reported.
"Italy condemns in the strongest terms the launch by North Korea
of a long-range ballistic missile on 13 April," said the foreign
ministry in a statement.
"This new missile launch constitutes a further blatant violation
of the relevant UN Security Council resolutions and represents a
threat to international peace and security, as well as
undermining the global non-proliferation regime," it said.
