An FCDO spokesperson said:
North Korea's ballistic missile launches on 13 September are yet another breach of multiple UN Security Council resolutions (UNSCRs).
Illegal ballistic missile launches continue to destabilise the peace and security of the Korean Peninsula.
The UK will continue to call out violations of UNSCRs. We strongly urge North Korea to return to dialogue and take credible steps towards denuclearisation.
The launches come alongside reports that DPRK and Russia are negotiating a possible arms deal.
We urge the DPRK to cease its arms negotiations with Russia and abide by the public commitments Pyongyang has made not to sell arms to Russia. We also call on Russia to uphold UN Security Council resolutions.
