U.N. Security Council condemns North Korea nuclear test

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council Monday unanimously condemned North Korea's latest nuclear test, saying it was a "clear violation" of a resolution passed in 2006 after Pyongyang's first atomic test.

"The members of the Security Council have decided to start work immediately on a Security Council resolution on this matter," said the statement after a closed-door council meeting.
