North Korea threatens further action amid UN condemnation

North Korea says that it will take further action in response to the United Nation’s condemnation of its recent missile test.

North Korea successfully test fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile(SLBM) earlier this week. North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un called the firing a great success, and has also said that the US is within Pyongyang's striking range.

The test launch was a violation the UN ban on North Korean ballistic missiles, and was strongly condemned by the UN Security Council. All 15 member nations of the Security Council reached an agreement on Friday to “take major action” after North Korea’s recent moves.

A spokesperson for North Korea's foreign affairs ministry said Sunday that the UN’s condemnation was part of US plans to hurt North Korea’s dignity. The official said that Pyongyang will adopt a series of significant measures to counteract the threat.
