The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) will discuss nuclear nonproliferation and North Korea after Pyongyang conducted several missile tests this month, the council’s schedule shows. 

It’s the second such meeting prompted by North Korean missiles in 2022, with the U.S. and other U.N. member states meeting on Jan. 10 after Pyongyang’s first “hypersonic” test on Jan 5. Washington followed up the meeting with a call for more U.N. sanctions against North Korea. 

Pyongyang hinted that it may return to intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) or nuclear testing on Thursday, both of which violate UNSC resolutions.
