Washington: US military officials on Tuesday "strongly" condemned North Korea's apparently failed attempt to launch a missile on Tuesday in violation of international law.
"These actions, and North Korea's continued pursuit of ballistic missile and nuclear weapons capabilities, pose a significant threat to the United States, our allies, and to the stability of the greater Asia-Pacific," said the statement from the US Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM).
