US have expressed its concern over India’s latest ballistic missile launch. US believe that such actions could swell up the risk to nuclear security potentially and could have an impact on provincial security.
In a press conference, Mark Toner, the state Department Spokesperson said. “We’re concerned by any nuclear and missile developments that could potentially increase the risk to nuclear security risk or lower the threshold for nuclear use.”
He continued, “So we continue to urge all states with nuclear weapons to exercise restraint regarding their missile and nuclear capabilities.”
“We are concerned about those kind of actions what they do for regional security,” he added.
But a day prior to this, he had abstained from going into details of America’s bilateral conversations with India on the same issue. He said, “”I don’t want to get into specifics of our bilateral conversations with India, but we’ve long encouraged efforts to promote confidence building, stability, and discourage any actions that might destabilize the region,”
Anyway, let us tell you that India has fruitfully launched a domestically-developed, nuclear competent K-4 ballistic missile from a waterlogged platform in the Bay of Bengal.
