UNITED NATIONS: Both Russia and China on Friday warned that the mounting rhetoric over North Korea could lead to missteps that would have "frightening consequences. "Meanwhile, China's foreign minister Wang Yi too warned against military action to respond to the threat from North Korea's missile and nuclear programmes. "Failing to act now on the most pressing security issue in the world may bring catastrophic consequences," Tillerson told the Council. "As we meet today, North Korea continues to take provocative action in the Asia-Pacific region," May said during a joint news conference. "In the face of this belligerence we stand steadfast in our condemnation of such destabilising activity," she said.
