SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Italy’s foreign minister says North Korea’s rocket launch puts at risk both international and regional security, as well as peace.

Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni noted in a statement that Sunday’s launch comes just one month after North Korea conducted a nuclear test, making for the North’s “latest provocation.” He said North Korea has “returned to openly violating (U.N.) Security Council resolutions.”

Gentiloni called for a firm reaction from the international community, starting with the emergency Security Council meeting scheduled for later Sunday.
