Larsen Statement on North Korea's Artillery Attack Against South Korean Island

Washington, D.C. — Today, U.S. Representative Rick Larsen (WA-02), a member of the House Armed Services Committee, released the following statement on North Korea’s artillery attack against the South Korean island of Yeonpyeong.

“North Korea’s unprovoked artillery attack onto the South Korean island of Yeonpyeong is unacceptable, belligerent behavior.

“The international community should not reward North Korea for its provocative actions.

“I am pleased that the United States is standing with South Korea, our treaty ally, during this difficult time. I urge the international community to join the United States in condemning North Korea’s unprovoked aggression and supporting South Korea as we work to restore peace and stability to the region.”
