UN demands North Korea cease "deeply troubling" nuclear activities

The United Nations has demanded that North Korea cease any further nuclear activities after its claim that it has successfully tested a hydrogen bomb.

Speaking in New York ahead of a meeting of the UN Security Council, secretary-general Ban Ki-moon has described the claimed underground test as "deeply troubling" and "profoundly destabilising for regional security".

North Korea's claim that it has conducted a successful test could take days to verify and may never be fully confirmed.

Experts remain sceptical that an H-bomb test did actually take place.

The announcement came on state television after a 5.1-magnitude earthquake was measured near the Punggye-ri nuclear test site.

It comes within a month of a claim by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un that an H-bomb had been successfully developed.
