This is stated in a statement by the German Foreign Ministry.

“The federal government strongly condemns the DPRK's launch of a short-range missile today.

Thus, the DPRK again violates its obligations in the framework of the relevant UN Security Council resolutions and undermines international and regional security and stability, ”the ministry’s statement quoted by TASS.

Earlier, the Japanese government said that North Korea launched an object resembling a ballistic missile.

The French Foreign Ministry condemned another rocket launch from the DPRK.
