Russia is concerned about new missile launches by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and urges all parties to show restraint, the Kremlin said Monday.
"These are the steps that lead to a further increase of tension in the region," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted as saying by the RIA Novosti news agency in a comment on the DRPK's recent multiple missile launch.
He added that Moscow would conduct an exchange of views on Pyongyang's latest move with concerned countries.
On Sunday, the DPRK fired four ballistic missiles of a new type into east waters. The missiles flew some 1,000 km eastward on average, and three out of the four fell into Japan's exclusive economic zone, according to a report by the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The DPRK's test-launches came in possible response to an annual U.S.-South Korea springtime war game that kicked off on March 1. Pyongyang has denounced it as a dress rehearsal for northward invasion.
