Russia’s Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday it was deeply concerned about North Korea’s decision to go ahead with a satellite launch.
“We must state that … the North Korean side demonstrates an outrageous disregard for the universally recognised norms of international law,” the ministry said in a statement.
Pyongyang notified U.N. agencies on Tuesday of its plan to launch what it called an “earth observation satellite” sometime between Feb. 8 and 25.
