The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) released a statement on 8 April 2026 following ballistic missile launches by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea). An FCDO spokesperson said the launches were another breach of United Nations Security Council resolutions and that they destabilise regional peace and security. The UK continues to urge North Korea to stop provocations, engage in meaningful diplomacy, and return to dialogue. The statement, issued by the FCDO, was published on the official GOV.UK website and did not include additional details. The statement was made public on the GOV.UK portal and reaffirmed the UK’s position on the importance of compliance with international agreements.
