‘US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has urged for “something serious has to happen” to punish the North Korean regime for violating UN sanctions after Pyongyang launch of a missile over Japan, .
The Security Council was expected to meet late on Tuesday to discuss actions after Donald Trump announced “all options are on the table” for the US following the launch of what is believed to be an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) – either a KN-17 or Hwasong-12 – over the northern part of Hokkaido.
It is Pyongyang’s 13th missile test this year, but the first one over a populated area in Japan – such tests are rare.
Mr Trump, who has vowed not to let North Korea develop nuclear missiles that can hit the mainland United States, said the world had received North Korea’s latest message “loud and clear”.’
