"Such a missile launch would pose a threat to regional security and would also be inconsistent with North Korea’s recent undertaking to refrain from long-range missile launches," said U.S. State Department spokeswoman, Victoria Nuland. "We call on North Korea to adhere to its international obligations, including all relevant U.N. Security Council Resolutions. We are consulting closely with our international partners on next steps." South Korea claims that the launch is a "clear violation" of  resolutions. North Korea launched a similar satellite over northern Japan in 2009.
