U.S. calls for North Korean restraint after missile test report

A State Department official would not comment on the reported test but said launches using ballistic missile technology violate multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions.

"We call on North Korea to refrain from actions that further raise tensions in the region and focus instead on taking concrete steps toward fulfilling its international commitments and obligations," the official said in an email. (Reporting by Doina Chiacu; Editing by Louise Ireland)
