 To business news, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, FAA, said on Tuesday that it briefly halted departures at some west coast airports on Monday around the time of reports that North Korea had launched a ballistic missile. A U.S. official said the FAA paused some west coast operations for less than 15 minutes due to initial report of events in the Indo-Pacific region, without directly trying to tine it rather to the missile launch. Earlier on Tuesday, United States condemned North Korea for a ballistic missile launch, saying it violates multiple UN Security Council resolutions and poses a threat to its neighbors and the world. The North Korean Aerospace Defense Command did not issue any warning following the launch.
