MOSCOW, April 13 (Reuters) – North Korea’s launch of a

rocket contradicts a U.N. Security Council resolution, the

Interfax news agency cited an unidentified Russian Foreign

Ministry official as saying on Friday.

Russia had earlier urged Pyongyang not to conduct the

launch, saying it would violate a U.N. Security Council

resolution regardless of its purpose and complicate efforts to

revive six-party talks over North Korea’s nuclear programme.
