North Korea has denounced the US strikes on Venezuela labelling it as ‘the most serious form of encroachment of sovereignty.’ The statement came after North Korea launched ballistic missiles earlier on Sunday.
North Korea has denounced the US strikes on Venezuela as “the most serious form of encroachment of sovereignty,” state news agency KCNA said on Sunday.
“The incident is another example that clearly confirms once again the rogue and brutal nature of the United States,” KCNA said, citing a spokesperson for North Korea’s Foreign Ministry.
The relations between North Korea and the US has worsened as Korea again points to the US about the recent capture of Nicolas Maduro and his wife.
The statement came after North Korea launched ballistic missiles earlier on Sunday, the day the leader of South Korea begins a state visit to China, Pyongyang’s chief ally.
The missile launch from North Korea came at a sensitive time as South Korean President Lee Jae Myung prepares to leave for Beijing for summit-level talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The timing also coincided with the attack of the US on Venezuelan soil. The US Indo-Pacific Command on Sunday confirmed that it is aware of North Korea’s recent missile launches and maintained that the move does not pose an ‘immediate threat’ to the region.
Pyongyang said the current situation in Venezuela “caused a catastrophic consequence to ensuring the identity of the regional and international relations structure.”
