North Korea denounced on Sunday the United States’ capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro as a “serious encroachment of sovereignty”, state media said.

Pyongyang’s foreign ministry “strongly denounces the US hegemony-seeking act committed in Venezuela,” said a ministry spokesperson in a statement carried by the official KCNA.

“The incident is another example that clearly confirms once again the rogue and brutal nature of the US,” they added.
