North Korea warns against Security Council meeting on missile tests 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseNorth Korea warned Monday it would not “sit idle” if any attempt is made at the UN Security Council to raise the subject of its “self-defensive measures,” an apparent reference to its recent missile tests. Three European countries — Britain, France and Germany — called for a closed door Security Council meeting Tuesday to discuss North Korea’s test last week of a sea-launched missile, saying it was a “serious violation” of UN resolutions. North Korea’s ambassador to the UN, Kim Song, said that raising the issue “will further urge our desire to defend our sovereignty.”The warning came two days after North Korea broke off nuclear talks with the United States in Sweden. Pyongyang has conducted six nuclear tests since 2006, the last one on September 3, 2017.
