The Pentagon said it was not ready for military action against the DPRK due to missile launches

“I think we will continue to work closely with Japan and South Korea.

We are focused on maintaining the free and open regions of the Indian and Pacific Oceans ... We urge North Korea to work in the same direction, ”TASS quoted him as saying.

At the same time, according to Ryder, the United States is ready to "respond appropriately" to possible provocations from the DPRK.

Yesterday it became known that North Korea launched a ballistic missile.

In response, South Korea and the United States tested four ground-to-ground missiles.
