Meanwhile, US State Department spokesman Ned Price urged “countries to fully implement North Korea-related UN Security Council resolutions.”

The same day, the Defense Ministries of South Korea and the US held the first meeting of the Counter-Missile Working Group in Seoul. The group aims to step up their policy coordination and communication to strengthen the alliance’s counter-missile capability and posture in light of escalating North Korean missile threats.

The United Nations Security Council plans to discuss North Korea’s launching of a Hwasong-17 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
