North Korea on Monday denounced United Nations (UN) Secretary-General António Guterres, calling his recent statement on missile launches “unfair”.
The country calls the launches “only a self-defense reaction to deal with US military provocations,” state media reported.
Guterres condemned the North’s actions on Friday and urged the capital Pyongyang to “immediately desist from taking any provocative action”.
“I think that the UN Secretary-General’s unfair and prejudiced behavior is to some extent responsible for the severity of the situation on the Korean peninsula,” North Korea’s deputy foreign minister told international organizations in a statement released by the media. state KCNA.
On Saturday, North Korea fired four short-range ballistic missiles into the Western Sea as Seoul and Washington ended a high-profile six-day military exercise. During the week, the North Koreans launched several rockets, including a possible intercontinental ballistic missile, which failed.
In a statement on Sunday, the North Korean army justified the launches as a response to “clear provocations” with “dangerous military exercises” by South Korea and the United States.
