Britain summoned North Korea's ambassador today after the pariah state sparked global fury with its third nuclear test, the Foreign Office said.

"I summoned North Korea's ambassador today to stress in the strongest terms the UK's condemnation of yesterday's nuclear test," Hugo Swire, a junior foreign minister, said in a statement.

"This is a clear violation of UN Security Council Resolutions, and the UK supports the resolve of the UN to implement more stringent measures against the regime."
