More than half the United Nations Security Council condemned on Friday North Korea’s launch of a medium-range ballistic missile, warning in a joint statement that ongoing silence by the 15-member body would only embolden Pyongyang.

The eight council members – the United States, Albania, Brazil, France, Ireland, Norway, the United Arab Emirates and Britain – and Japan described Sunday’s launch as a “significant escalation” that “seeks to further destabilize the region.”
