White House National Security Council spokesman Adrienne Watson reported that the United States president had been informed about the North Korean launch.
“This launch is a blatant violation of multiple Security Council resolutions [de las Naciones Unidas] and needlessly escalates tensions and risks destabilizing the security situation in the region,” Watson wrote in a statement. “This action demonstrates that the DPRK continues to prioritize its illegal weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs. for the welfare of his people."
Adrienne Watson also indicated that The US would take the necessary steps to "ensure the security of the American homeland and the Republic of Korea and Japanese allies."
while the US Indo-Pacific Command said in a statement on the North Korean missile launch "we are aware of the DPRK ballistic missile launch and we are consulting closely with the Republic of Korea (ROK) and Japan, as well as other regional allies and partners. The United States condemns these actions and calls on the DPRK to refrain from further illegal and destabilizing acts."
While North Korea has tested an unprecedented number of missiles this year, launching an ICBM has been rare.
