"We are concerned about reports of recent launches from the DPRK, including the report that a ballistic missile was launched from the sea," RIA Novosti quoted Haka as saying.
He recalled that the UN has repeatedly called on the leadership of the DPRK to promptly resume diplomatic efforts towards a sustainable peace.
Earlier, the Committee of the Chiefs of Staff of the South Korean Armed Forces said that the DPRK had launched a ballistic missile towards the Sea of Japan.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida also said that two shells were fired from North Korea towards the Sea of Japan, which are most likely ballistic missiles.
The US military condemned the missile launches.
At the same time, Pyongyang called the discussion of North Korean missile launches at the UN Security Council meeting "a manifestation of double standards," since North Korea is conducting these tests in self-defense and on the territory of its country.
At the same time, they noted that the Security Council at the same time "did not say anything about large-scale joint military exercises of the United States and their supporters."
