India today said that it "deplores" North Korea's latest nuclear test, calling it a "matter of deep concern that Democratic People's Republic of Korea has once again acted in violation of its international commitments."

The North Korean nuclear test, its sixth and biggest-ever, goes against the objective of the de-nuclearisation of the Korean peninsula, which has been endorsed by Pyongyang itself, New Delhi said. "We call upon DPRK to refrain from such actions which adversely impact peace and stability in the region and beyond."

New Delhi also hinted at at its concern about North Korean nuclear missiles falling into the wrong hands, saying, "India also remains concerned about the proliferation of nuclear and missile technologies which has adversely impacted India's national security."
