SEOUL, Jan 4 (Reuters) – ‌North ​Korea has ‌denounced the U.S. strikes ​on Venezuela as “the most ‍serious form of ​encroachment of ​sovereignty,” ⁠state news agency KCNA said on Sunday.

“The incident is another example that clearly confirms once ‌again the rogue and brutal ​nature ‌of the ‍United States,” ⁠KCNA said, citing a spokesperson for North Korea’s Foreign Ministry.

The statement came after North Korea launched ballistic ​missiles earlier on Sunday, the day the leader of South Korea begins a state visit to China, Pyongyang’s chief ally.

Pyongyang said the current situation in Venezuela “caused a catastrophic consequence ​to ensuring the identity of the regional and international relations structure.”
