BRUSSELS, 06 November 2022, (TON): The EU strongly condemns the significant increase of illegal missile launches by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, including, an intercontinental ballistic missile and the short-range ballistic missile that landed south of the Northern Limit Line.

These actions represent a dangerous escalation in the DPRK’s repeated violation of UN Security Council resolutions.

The unprecedented number of DPRK ballistic missiles launched in 2022 represents an alarming illustration of its intention to continue undermining the global non-proliferation regime.

This poses a grave threat to all nations and undermines international and regional peace and security.
