UNITED NATIONS (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 05th October, 2022) UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres believes that North Korea's most recent test launch of a ballistic can escalate the situation and result in reactions by other states, United Nations spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said on Wednesday.
"I think it's clear that these situations have a way of escalating. That actions taken by the DPRK (North Korea) lead to reactions by others," Dujarric said during a briefing.
Because of these facts, the United Nations believes it is important for the tensions to be reduced, Dujarric added.
The Western member states on the UN Security Council have requested a meeting regarding North Korea's missile test launch to be held on Wednesday afternoon.
Earlier on Tuesday, North Korea test-launched a ballistic missile over Japan for the first time in five years.
