As the UN Security Council is held on the 5th (Korean time) on the North Korean missile launch, the US and Europe are increasing their say in the rematch with China and Russia.

According to Yomiuri, a resolution to strengthen sanctions on North Korea, which was previously canceled by the United States-led refusal by China and Russia in May, was decided at an emergency meeting by Gabon, the seat of the Security Council, according to Yomiuri.

At the Security Council, as the confrontation between the United States, Europe, China, and Russia intensified over the situation in Ukraine and other issues, "The United States believes that China and Russia will have no choice but to oppose additional sanctions at this emergency meeting, and prioritize the expression of the UN Security Council's unified intentions. We are doing it,” Yomiuri quoted a UN official.
White House press secretary Karin Jean-Pierre at a regular briefing on the 4th said, "The United States strongly condemns North Korea's reckless and dangerous decision to launch a long-range ballistic missile over Japan, using the official name of North Korea (DPRK) and calling the tested missile a 'long-range'. ” he said.

"It is dangerous to the Japanese people, disturbs regional stability, and is a clear violation of UN Security Council resolutions," said Jean-Pierre, spokesperson for Jean-Pierre. action has been taken,” he explained.

"After North Korea launched a long-range ballistic missile over Japan on the 3rd, President Biden spoke with Japanese Prime Minister Kishida on the 4th and reinforced our ironclad commitment to defending Japan," the White House said in a press release during the US-Japan summit call. “The two leaders discussed the importance of resolving the issue and the immediate repatriation of Japanese abductees by the DPRK, and resolved to continue every effort to limit the DPRK’s ability to support its illicit ballistic missile and weapons of mass destruction programs. DPRK's ability to support its unlawful ballistic missile and weapons of mass destruction programs).

Malcolm Davis, senior analyst at the Australian Institute of Strategic Policy, said on the 4th, "(Korea) Hyunmoo 5 can carry a conventional warhead of up to 9 tons and can theoretically attack China and Japan by flying 3,000 km with a lighter warhead." The government is moving away from focusing entirely on North Korea and is pursuing regional powers, including missiles," he told the South China Morning Post.

In response to North Korea's ballistic missile launch, South Korea launched the Hyunmoo-2 on the 4th.

In an editorial on the 4th, the Wall Street Journal said, "It is wrong to allow North Korea to have nuclear weapons in the first place. "For now, deterrence is the best response," he said. "The leaders of the United States, including President Biden, must convince the American people of the dangerous realities of the new world and the necessary countermeasures."
