Ben Hill is a reporter for The New Zealand HeraldForeign Minister Murray McCully has "condemned in the strongest terms" North Korea's launching of multiple missiles. "Today's launches follow two North Korean nuclear tests and more than 20 missile tests since last year," he said. "It is deeply frustrating that North Korea continues to show such disregard for UN Security Council resolutions, which prohibit all such missile launches. "New Zealand strongly urges North Korea to cease such tests and abide by its international obligations." Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said the reclusive country fired four ballistic missiles, three of which fell into Japan's exclusive economic zone.
