NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg condemned on Wednesday recent launches of ballistic missiles by North Korea.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, South Korean media reported that North Korea appeared to have test-fired another medium-range ballistic missile, a second one on Wednesday.

"I strongly condemn the launch by North Korea of two ballistic missiles. These repeated provocative actions by DPRK undermine international security and dialogue," Stoltenberg said in a statement.

According to the Alliance's head, Pyongyang's move violates a number of resolutions of the UN Security Council, including Resolution 2270 dated March 2, which urge North Korea to stop all activities on its ballistic missile program.

"NATO continues to call on North Korea to fully comply with its obligations under international law, not to threaten with or conduct any launches using ballistic missile technology and to refrain from any further provocative actions," Stoltenberg said.
