NATO says North Korea nuclear test undermines security

NATO head said that the announcement of hydrogen bomb test is in clear breach of UN Security Council resolutions

NATO head Jens Stoltenberg condemned North Korea's announced hydrogen bomb test today as a threat to international security and urged Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear weapons programme.

"The nuclear weapons test announced by North Korea undermines regional and international security, and is in clear breach of UN Security Council resolutions," Stoltenberg said in a statement.

"North Korea should abandon nuclear weapons and existing nuclear and ballistic missile programmes in a complete, verifiable and irreversible manner, and engage in credible and authentic talks on denuclearisation," he said.
