Japan has strongly protested against the DPRK's nuclear test. Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso says his government would "not tolerate" such a move.

Taro Aso, Japanese Prime Minister, said, "The DPRK's nuclear test is a serious challenge to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and a clear violation of the UN Security Council resolution. We will not tolerate such activity."

Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary says the government will request an urgent meeting of the United Nations Security Council to discuss this matter.

Takeo Kawamura, Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary, said, "If the DPRK carried out a nuclear test, it would clearly violate UN Security Council resolutions. We will definitely not tolerate it. "
