UNITED NATIONS: The United Nations Security Council on Monday strongly condemned North Korea's nuclear weapons test in brazen defiance of a United Nations resolution and vowed a "strong and swift" response, its president said.
Japan's UN envoy Kenzo Oshima, the council president for October, read out a statement that also urged North Korea "to refrain from further testing" and return to six-nation disarmament talks.
He said experts from the 15-member council would meet later in the day to consider a draft resolution circulated by the United States to respond to Pyongyang's defiance.
