WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and his South Korean counterpart condemned North Korea’s ballistic missile launches in a phone call on Thursday, the White House said.

North Korea fired three ballistic missiles towards the sea off its east coast on Thursday, South Korea and Japan said, in the latest tests aimed at advancing its weapons programmes.

Sullivan and National Security Advisor Kim Sung-han also discussed U.S. President Joe Biden’s upcoming visit to South Korea, the White House said. Biden’s visit is expected later this month.
