South Korea’s military has increased its monitoring of North Korea after the secretive state claimed a successful test of a miniaturized hydrogen device. The fourth nuclear test by Pyongyang was condemned by leading nations.
“North Korea’s provocation is in clear violation of Security Council resolutions and a serious challenge to international peace and security,” Seoul’s Vice Foreign Minister Lim Sung-nam said during an emergency meeting of ministry officials, according to Yonhap.
South Korea claims it will seek to cooperate with regional partners and make North Korea pay a price for its provocation.
President Park Geun-hye chaired an emergency National Security Council session. In remarks published on her website the president said the country will take decisive measures against any additional provocations by North Korea and “closely cooperate with the international community to make sure that North Korea pays the corresponding price” for its latest test.
The Bank of Korea has convened an emergency meeting of its monetary policy board.
