North Korea and its ballistic missiles raise sharp debates in the United Nations

A fierce debate erupted between the world's major superpowers the United States, China, and Russia during a meeting of the United Nations Security Council on Monday over who bears responsibility for motivating North Korea to launch dozens of ballistic missiles and develop its nuclear weapons program.
The council met to discuss what Pyongyang said was the launch of the Hwasong-17, its largest intercontinental ballistic missile, on Thursday.
