North Korea announced Tuesday it successfully conducted an underground nuclear test that day, in a clear violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions. It was North Korea's third nuclear test, following others in October 2006 and May 2009, and the first under new leader Kim Jong Un. The latest test is a violation of Security Council resolutions, including one implemented following the launch of an apparent long-range ballistic missile in December, and is expected to prompt strong criticism from the international community, which has been calling for North Korea to refrain from conducting a third nuclear test. The test is also likely to seriously affect the resumption of six-party talks on Pyongyang's nuclear program and other issues.
