US, Japan and South Korea condemn North Korean missile launches

The United States, Japan and South Korea on Thursday condemned North Korea's firing of two short-range missiles of the east coast of South Korea.

"These launches are clear violations of multiple United Nations Security Council resolutions, and demonstrate the threat the DPRK's unlawful weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs pose to the region, international peace and security, and the global non-proliferation regime," the countries said in a joint-statement.
