The press release issued by the Foreign Office on 28 October 2022.

A Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office spokesperson statement on North Korea’s ballistic missile tests on 28 October.

The two short range ballistic missile tests by North Korea on 28 October are a clear violation of UN Security Council Resolutions.

The UK is working closely with our partners to urge North Korea to return to diplomacy and take credible steps towards denuclearisation in a complete, verifiable and irreversible manner. We call on North Korea to prioritise the well-being of its people instead of the unlawful pursuit of nuclear and ballistic missile programmes.
