North Korea has condemned U.S. strikes on Venezuela, labeling them a "most serious form of encroachment of sovereignty" and a confirmation of the U.S.'s "rogue and brutal nature." The statement from North Korea's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, cited by KCNA, also suggested the situation in Venezuela has catastrophic consequences for international relations. This condemnation follows North Korea's own ballistic missile launches on the same day South Korean President Lee Jae Myung began a state visit to China.
