The UN Security Council on Thursday "strongly condemned" a recent North Korean missile test and ballistic missile engine test, denouncing Pyongyang's "increasingly destabilizing behavior."
"The launch and engine test are in grave violation of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's international obligations," the council said in a statement.
"The members of the Security Council expressed serious concern over the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's increasingly destabilizing behavior and flagrant and provocative defiance of the Security Council," it added.
