The European Union denounced on Wednesday North Korea's decision to fire a ballistic missile off its east coast as 'yet another provocative action' and called for fresh talks between Washington and Pyongyang. 'We look forward to the resumption of working-level talks between the US and the DPRK and stand ready to support all international efforts for finding a diplomatic solution leading to lasting peace and security on the Korean Peninsula,' the EU said in a statement, referring to North Korea.
