January 23, 2013 08:40

AFP: A defiant North Korea today condemned a new round of UN sanctions and hinted it might carry out a nuclear test, while ruling out a resumption of talks on denuclearising the Korean peninsula.

"We flatly reject and condemn the UN Security Council's extremely unfair resolution that attempts to violate our sovereign rights," the foreign ministry said in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.

"We will take physical actions aimed at expanding and strengthening our self-defensive military forces, including nuclear deterrence," the ministry said.
