朝鮮宣稱成功進行核試驗
North Korea says it has "successfully" carried out a third nuclear test, in defiance of U.N. warnings to stop developing its atomic weapons program.
State media Tuesday said the underground test used a "lighter, miniaturized nuclear bomb" with greater explosive force than previous tests. It said the test was in response to what it called the "reckless hostility" of the United States.
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon immediately condemned the "deeply destabilizing" move, calling it a "clear and grave violation" of international sanctions.
U.S. President Barack Obama called the test "highly provocative," saying it threatens U.S. security and international peace. He called for "swift and credible" action by the international community.
China, North Korea's main ally, expressed what it called "firm opposition" to the test.
Diplomats say the U.N. Security Council will meet early Tuesday in New York to come up with a response.平壤說，朝鮮“成功地”進行了第三次核試驗。此前聯合國一直警告朝鮮，要求停止其研製核武器項目。
朝鮮官方媒體星期二說，這次地下核試驗使用了爆炸力大於前兩次核試驗的“較輕的微型核彈”。朝鮮官方媒體表示，進行這次核試驗是針對美國“魯莽的敵對行爲”。
聯合國祕書長潘基文立即譴責朝鮮進行核試驗將導致嚴重的不穩定局面，並說朝鮮這一舉動明顯地嚴重違反了國際制裁規定。
美國總統奧巴馬說，朝鮮這次核試驗是嚴重的挑釁，對美國的安全與國際和平構成威脅。奧巴馬敦促國際社會迅速採取可信的行動。
中國表示，“堅決反對”朝鮮進行這次核試驗。中國是朝鮮的主要盟友。
聯合國外交官們說，安理會將於星期二清晨在紐約舉行一次緊急會議，討論如何對朝鮮核試驗做出反應。
