An FCO spokesperson said:

We are disappointed that North Korea has carried out a short range ballistic missile test, a clear breach of UN Security Council resolutions and the fourteenth ballistic missile test in the past year.

We strongly encourage North Korea to change course and to take concrete steps to denuclearise. Until we see credible steps towards this goal, sanctions must continue to be enforced.
