The UN Security Council "decisively condemned" nuclear tests of the DPRK

The UN Security Council “strongly condemned” the tests of nuclear weapons in the DPRK and called it a “serious violation of resolutions,” Reuters reports.

The UN Security Council began work on a package of suitable measures that will be directed to North Korea. The United States offered to tighten sanctions against the DPRK.

Recall that an emergency meeting at the UN headquarters in New York began at 18:00 Moscow time. He was convened by South Korea in response to a nuclear explosion in the DPRK on Tuesday morning, February 12. The largest international organizations, as well as the USA, Japan, South Korea, Great Britain, China and Russia condemned a nuclear explosion in the DPRK.

North Korea threatened with new tests and warned in advance that she would ignore the UN resolution, as he could not refuse nuclear weapons due to US aggressive policy. The UN forbade the DPRK to launch ballistic missiles and nuclear tests. At the end of 2012, the Enha-3 rocket with a satellite was successfully launched from the North Korean Cosmodrome of the SOCE. The authorities of South Korea accused the neighbor of testing the means of delivery of nuclear weapons.
