German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle says the United Nations should consider further sanctions against North Korea in a response to its third nuclear test.<\/p>\n

Westerwelle said in a statement on Tuesday that Berlin condemned Pyongyang\u2019s test “in the strongest possible terms,” adding, “Further sanctions against the regime in Pyongyang should now be considered.”<\/p>\n

North Korea said earlier in the day that it had successfully carried out its third underground nuclear test. It added that the test involved “miniaturized” device and was conducted in a “perfect manner.”<\/p>\n

The German Minister welcomed the UN Security Council meeting over North Korea\u2019s nuclear activities scheduled to be held later on Tuesday in New York.<\/p>\n

\n

“The international community must have a clear position as a response to this new provocation,” Westerwelle said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nHe also said that EU foreign ministers should discuss Pyongyang\u2019s move in the upcoming meeting, as it was a “new and blatant breach of the UN Security Council resolutions.”<\/p>\n

Seismic activity was detected by some monitoring agencies from different countries at North Korea\u2019s nuclear test site at 11:57 local time (0257 GMT).<\/p>\n

An earthquake with a magnitude of 4.9 shook North Korea, the US Geological Survey said. The tremor\u2019s epicenter was only one kilometer deep and close to the test site.<\/p>\n

Pyongyang\u2019s test prompted condemnations from several countries, including China, Russia, the United States, France, Japan and South Korea.<\/p>\n

North Korea carried out its two previous nuclear tests on October 9, 2006 and May 25, 2009.<\/p>\n
