North Korea has warned that more sanctions and pressure will only make it accelerate its nuclear programme, according to a report by the BBC.
In a strongly worded statement, the foreign ministry called a new round of restrictions imposed by the United Nations “the most vicious, unethical and inhumane act of hostility”.
North Korea will be a key issue at the UN General Assembly this week.
The country fired its latest missile over Japan on Friday, in what was described as its farthest-reaching test.
The launch, which followed a fresh round of UN sanctions, was unanimously condemned by the UN Security Council as “highly provocative”.
