North Korea, condemning recent UNSC meeting, warns of looming “countermeasure”

Foreign ministry spokesperson reiterates Pyongyang now has "nothing to lose"

North Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) on Thursday condemned a recent United Nations Security Council (UNSC) meeting regarding its recent spate of missile testing, in a statement warning that the country was preparing to take countermeasures in response to the U.S.'s "bandit-like" behavior.
