North Korea fired a missile recently that landed 1000 km into the Sea of Japan. This is North Korea’s second ICBM launch in under a month. The first successful launch was on July 4 2017. The second launch was on July 29, which means it only took 25 days to have their second successful launch.
French Ambassador to the U.N. Francois Delattre said North Korea is a 4g threat. He also said “That’s why we call for a firm and quick reaction including the adoption of strong additional sanctions by the Security Council.”
Urgent Meeting
The Security Council has requested a meeting for Monday July 31 2017. The request for the emergency meeting is due to the second test by the North Koreans.
The launch was condemned by Rex Tillerson who is the Secretary of State. He said it’s “in blatant violation of multiple United Nations Security Council resolutions that reflect the will of the international community.”
The missile had a range of 1000 km, which is a grave concern. 1000 km means Cities like New York, Chicago and Los Angeles are within range.
