15:05 GMT 15.09.2021 (Updated: 13:36 GMT 18.09.2023) WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – The United States considers the recent North Korean missile launch to be a threat to the country’s neighbours and the international community, and urges Pyongyang to return to dialogue on denuclearization, a US State Department spokesperson said on Wednesday.
"The United States condemns the DPRK's [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] missile launch.
