The United States and its allies have clashed with China and Russia, accusing the pair of preventing action being taken by the United Nations Security Council against North Korea for its escalating ballistic missile launches.The 15 members of the Security Council failed on Friday to agree on a joint statement condemning the recent barrage of ballistic missiles from North Korea. Instead, a number of countries – including France, the United Kingdom and the US – separately condemned Pyongyang’s ongoing missile tests.North Korea has conducted a record number of missile launches this week, including an apparent intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), bringing the total number of missiles fired to more than 60 so far this year.
