朝鲜谴责联合国制裁措施

The United Nations Security Council has ordered tougher sanctions against North Korea for its December rocket launch, prompting Pyongyang to defiantly hint at another nuclear test.

The 15-member Security Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to condemn the launch as a ballistic missile test banned under existing U.N. sanctions. It also threatened to take "significant action" if Pyongyang conducts more launches or tests.

North Korea responded immediately, saying it would hold no more talks on de-nuclearization. It also vowed to boost its military and "nuclear deterrence," a statement many interpreted as a threat to conduct another nuclear test.

Pyongyang has twice before conducted nuclear tests following U.N. sanctions imposed after long-range rocket launches. Recent satellite photos suggest it may be preparing to conduct a third test.联合国安理会决定针对朝鲜去年12月发射火箭，对其实行更严厉的制裁，此后引起朝鲜挑战性的暗示它将再次进行核试验。

星期二，安理会15个成员国一致通过一项决议案，谴责朝鲜违反联合国现有制裁规定，以发射火箭作为伪装来试射弹道导弹。安理会还警告说，如果平壤再进行发射或试验，就将采取“重大行动”。

朝鲜立即做出反应，声称不再参与任何非核化会谈。此外，朝鲜还誓言增强军力和“核威慑力量”，很多人士将这一声明解释为朝鲜再次进行核试验的威胁。

联合国对朝鲜的远程导弹发射实施制裁后，平壤方面曾进行了两次核试验。最近的卫星照片显示，朝鲜可能正在准备进行第3次核试验。
