It appears the recent rhetoric of North Korea has ruffled the feathers of the united Nations as a new report indicates that the U.N. Security Council strongly condemned four North Korean ballistic missile launches in July and August on Friday night, calling them “grave violations” of a ban on all ballistic missile activity.
