WASHINGTON, April 4 (Yonhap) -- U.S. President Barack Obama Sunday denounced
North Korea for launching a "Taepodong 2 missile" in violation of a U.N.
resolution and pledged to bring the issue to the U.N. Security Council for
possible additional sanctions.
"We will immediately consult with our allies in the region, including Japan and
the Republic of Korea, and members of the U.N. Security Council to bring this
matter before the Council," Obama said in a statement from Prague in the Czech
Republic that was released by the White House. "I urge North Korea to abide fully
by the resolutions of the U.N. Security Council and to refrain from further
provocative actions."
