UN Security Council convenes meeting to discuss North Korea's IRBM launch

The U.N. Security Council will convene a meeting today (9th) to discuss North Korea's recent launch of an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM).

In our view, the UN Security Council will hold a briefing session at the UN headquarters at 5 a.m. today on the issue of non-proliferation to North Korea to deal with the launch of ballistic missiles.

The meeting was called by six Security Council members, including South Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Slovenia, and Denmark.

U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres has consistently emphasized that "North Korea's continued missile launches using ballistic missile technology clearly violate relevant Security Council resolutions."

The Joint Chiefs of Staff said North Korea fired one IRBM from Pyongyang to the East Sea on the 6th, and North Korea claimed that the "new hypersonic mid- to long-range ballistic missile" succeeded in test-firing.
