North Korea issued a statement on Saturday condemning South Korea's successful March 23 missile test as ironic and hypocritical, citing condemnation of Pyongyang's own missile launches in late March as evidence of double standards.
A spokesperson for the Strategic Force of the Korean People's Army made the statement Saturday in North Korean army newspaper Joson Inmingun following the announcement that the South Korean Ministry of National Defence had successfully launched a 500km range ballistic missile for the first time in March.
