The European Union says it's concerned about tensions over North Korea and that the standoff can only be resolved by peaceful means, as a word of words escalates between Washington and Pyongyang.
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini's spokeswoman said Wednesday that the developments are "of great concern to the EU."
Spokeswoman Catherine Ray says "a lasting peace and denuclearization of the Korean peninsula must be achieved through peaceful means."
Ray says that for Mogherini, "that excludes military action."
Ray also says Pyongyang "must comply without delay fully and unconditionally with its obligations" under U.N. Security Council resolutions.
