A Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office spokesperson said:
North Korea continues to violate UN Security Council Resolutions by conducting a further ballistic missile test on 14 October. Alongside our allies and partners, the UK is committed to peace on the Korean Peninsula, upholding the rules-based international system and securing an end to North Korea's illegal activities.
The recent increase in DPRK missile and military activity is destabilising regional peace and security. It is critical that sanctions which target the DPRK's unlawful weapons development remain in place while its programmes exist. We urge North Korea to refrain from further provocations, and to return to dialogue with the US.
