North Korea on Tuesday denounced UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, calling his recent statement “inappropriate” on its missile launch, which it described as “mere retaliation for self-defense to combat US military provocation”, its State media reported.

Mr Guterres earlier on Friday condemned North Korea’s recent missile launches and urged Pyongyang to “immediately refrain from taking any further provocative action.”

North Korea’s deputy foreign minister of international organizations said in a statement carried by state media KCNA, “I think the UN Secretary-General’s unfair and prejudicial behavior can be attributed to some extent to the situation on the Korean peninsula. ” ,
