A divided United Nations Security Council has condemned North Korea’s recent launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile but stopped short of issuing a formal statement due to opposition from China and Russia, diplomats said.The United States, Britain, France and India were among 14 nations to “strongly condemn” Friday’s launch. The missile landed about 200km (125 miles) from Japan’s coast and was reported to have the range to reach the US mainland.“This represents a serious escalation and poses an unequivocal threat to international peace and security,” the countries said in a joint statement on Monday after a Security Council meeting.
