Obama: North Korea’s N-test “highly provocative”

US President Barack Obama called North Korea’s third successive nuclear test a "highly provocative act" that "undermines regional stability." He said North Korea's nuclear program constitutes "a threat to U.S. national security."

DEBKAfile:  But when it came to outlining steps to be taken, he referred to “action by the international community.”  Kim Jong Un can therefore continue North Korea’s nuclear program without fear of any action other than more sanctions.
