“We are disappointed that North Korea conducted new tests of short-range missiles,” the agency’s website said in a statement.

The ministry also noted that these tests violate many UN Security Council resolutions.

“Complete, irreversible and verifiable denuclearization is the path to a peaceful and richer future for the North Korean people,” the text says.

Earlier, the Japanese government announced the next missile launch of North Korean ballistic missiles.

Yevgeny Kim, a leading researcher at the Center for Korean Studies at the Institute of the Far East of the Russian Academy of Sciences, assessed the situation with the DPRK denuclearization in an interview with the NSN.
