The US State Department clearly pointed out that North Korea’s satellite launch was a violation of international resolutions against North Korea.
A State Department spokesperson responded to VOA’s email request for comment on the notification of North Korea’s satellite launch plan on the 29th, saying, “All launches by North Korea that use ballistic missile technology, including satellite launch vehicles (SLVs) used to launch artificial satellites into space, are It is a violation of UN Security Council resolutions.”
[국무부 대변인] “Any DPRK launch that uses ballistic missile technology, which would include SLVs used to launch a satellite into space, violates multiple UN Security Council resolutions. Space launch vehicles (SLVs) incorporate technologies that are identical to, and interchangeable with, those used in ballistic missiles, including intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).”
“The satellite launch vehicle includes the same and interchangeable technology used for ballistic missiles, including intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs),” he said.
“We urge North Korea to engage in serious and sustained diplomacy to refrain from further illegal activities,” a State Department spokesperson said.
