United Nations,<\/p>\n
UN chief Antonio Guterres has condemned the underground nuclear test by North Korea, calling it an act that is \u201cprofoundly\u201d destabilising for regional security.<\/p>\n
North Korea on Sunday carried out its most powerful nuclear test to date, claiming to have developed an advanced hydrogen bomb that could sit atop an intercontinental ballistic missile.<\/p>\n
According to a statement issued by a UN spokesperson, the Secretary-General said that North Korea\u2019s action is yet another serious breach of its international obligations and undermines international non-proliferation and disarmament efforts.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis act is also profoundly destabilising for regional security. North Korea is the only country that continues to break the norm against nuclear test explosions,\u201d the statement said, using North Korea\u2019s official name Democratic People\u2019s Republic of Korea.<\/p>\n
The UN Chief reiterated his call on North Korean leadership to cease such acts and to comply fully with its international obligations under relevant Security Council resolutions, the statement said, noting that Guterres remains in contact with all parties concerned.<\/p>\n
The head of the UN atomic agency has said that the nuclear test is \u201can extremely regrettable act\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis new test, which follows the two tests last year and is the sixth since 2006, is in complete disregard of the repeated demands of the international community,\u201d said Yukiya Amano, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), in a statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
