North Korea’s missile and nuclear provocations are continuing. The country put Kwangmyongsong-4 (Shining Star) satellite, into the orbit on 7 February, sparking a widespread condemnation. This brings Australia, much of Western Europe, and the U.S. West Coast in the range of a North Korean warhead ranging up to 9000 km. South Korea and Japan could be the real victims, where Russia also falls in the same distance.
The United Nations Security Council on 7th February unanimously condemned North Korea’s launch of a long-range missile, as a violation of its resolutions, banning ballistic missile tests and asking for new sanctions. Now many countries have been demanding stiff sanctions on North Korea.
