The nuclear envoys of South Korea, the United States and Japan condemned North Korea's launch of two short-range ballistic missiles on Friday, the latest in a record year of tests.

In a statement, South Korea's foreign ministry said nuclear and missile development would serve only to reinforce regional security cooperation.

The remarks followed a telephone call between a South Korean envoy and his U.S. and Japanese counterparts.
