The Foreign Minister said North Korea's launch of a ballistic missile threatened the security of Australia's neighbours and partners and undermined the stability of the Indo-Pacific.

Penny Wong has condemned North Korea's launch of a ballistic missile over Japanese territory as a"reckless and unacceptable act".

Senator Wong said she continued to be"gravely concerned" by Pyongyang’s readiness to undertake a seventh nuclear weapons test. "The test was a reckless and unacceptable act that threatens the security of our neighbours and partners and undermines the stability of the Indo-Pacific," she said in statement.

It is the first time North Korea has sent a missile over Japanese territory since 2017 and represents an escalation of missile tests by Kim Jong-un's regime. People watch a TV in Seoul, South Korea showing a file image of a North Korean missile launch in October 2019. Picture: Getty Images
