1 answer

One North Korean action in the 2000s that resulted in condemnation by other East Asian countries is the North Korean missile tests conducted in 2006.

In July 2006, North Korea launched a series of ballistic missiles including short-range, medium-range, and a long-range Taepodong-2 missile. The long-range missile test was of particular concern to other countries as it had a potential range capable of reaching Alaska and parts of the United States.

This action sparked strong condemnation from other East Asian countries, including Japan, South Korea, China, and Russia. The United Nations Security Council also issued a statement condemning these missile tests and imposed sanctions on North Korea. These tests raised tensions in the region and led to increased concerns about North Korea's missile capabilities and its nuclear program.
