US DEMANDS for the United Nations security council to condemn North Korean missile launches sparked a row with Russia and China on Monday.

North Korea has launched two test missiles in recent days, which it says is in retaliation to war games being carried out in the region by the US and South Korea.

Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the council that the US will propose a presidential statement condemning the North’s missile launches and urging Pyongyang “to engage in meaningful dialogue.”
