Members of the United
Nations Security Council strongly condemned North Korea's successful launch of an
intercontinental ballistic missile during an emergency meeting in New York on
Wednesday, during which US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley said the rogue
regime's actions have brought the world "closer to war."
"The dictator of
North Korea made a choice yesterday that brings the world closer to war, not farther
from it," Haley said. "We have never sought war with North Korea, and
still today we do not seek it. If war does come, it will be because of
continued acts of aggression like we witnessed yesterday."
"And if war comes,
make no mistake, the North Korean regime will be utterly destroyed," she
added.
Haley requested the
emergency meeting with her counterparts from South Korea and Japan shortly
after North Korea's launch on Tuesday.
