A divided United Nations Security Council has condemned North Korea’s recent launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile.
Pyongyang had launched an intercontinental ballistic missile last week capable of reaching the U.S. mainland.
The United States, Britain, France and India were among fourteen nations to strongly condemn Friday’s launch.
The Council however fell short of issuing a formal statement due to opposition from China and Russia, which Washington’s envoy, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, slammed.
