ASTANA. KAZINFORM Kazakhstan strongly condemns the launch of the missile by North Korea, Kazinform cites Spokesperson of the Kazakh MFA Anuar Zhainakov as saying.  

“This action is a serious violation of the UN Security Council’s resolutions No.1718 (as of 2006), No.1824 (as of 2009), No.2087 (as of 2013), No. 2094 (as of 2013) and No. 2270 (as of 2016).
