The United Nations Security Council is condemning the DPRK's nuclear test as a clear violation of UN Resolutions 1718.

The Council said in a statement after an emergency meeting that it will begin work immediately on a new legally binding resolution addressing Pyongyang's violations.

The Council is demanding the DPRK ban further nuclear tests. It has also called on Pyongyang to return to the six-party talks aimed at eliminating its nuclear program.

Susan Rice, US Ambassador to UN, said, "What we heard today was swift, clear, unequivocal condemnation and opposition to what occurred. The meeting was brief and everybody spoke and everybody essentially took the same view. We are now resolved to work on a resolution, we believe it should be a strong resolution with appropriately strong content."
