Pyongyang warned that five nations, including the United Kingdom, have issued a joint statement criticizing North Korea's training since the United Nations Security Council meeting.

A spokesman for the North Korean Foreign Ministry said in a talk that the nations were "responding to the United States," which is hostile to them.

In addition, their training was defined as "traditional training of radiation artillery," and if it was a violation of the resolution, they opposed the US-Korea "what to check military power and how to protect the nation."
