N Korea missiles

-

The United States has called an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council for tomorrow following North Korea’s latest test of a ballistic missile that was likely fired from a submarine. The United States has circulated a draft resolution to the Security Council seeking additional sanctions on North Korea for its spate of tests this year. But diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the resolution faces an uphill struggle because Russia and China, which have veto power in the council, want to see sanctions on North Korea eased — not increased.
