New York City: The United States called for tougher international sanctions against North Korea at the UN Security Council, accusing Pyongyang of “increasingly dangerous provocations” after it test-fired its largest-ever intercontinental ballistic missile.

“The United States calls on all member states to fully implement the existing Security Council resolutions,” US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield said during the meeting convened to discuss North Korea.
