North Korea has responded angrily to a new series of UN sanctions, saying that it would only make its nuclear and missile programmes stronger.

Pyongyang claimed that instead of weakening its programme, the sanctions would
increase its capability "a thousand times". The foreign ministry
also hinted at further nuclear tests to come.
In a statement carried by state media, the ministry said the latest sanctions,
which Pyongyang "totally rejects", would only lead the country to
reinforce its status "as a nuclear weapons state and satellite launcher".
Even before Thursday's Security Council vote imposing tougher sanctions on
Pyongyang over its nuclear test last month, the North Korean leadership had
said it would conduct more atomic and long-range missile tests in the
future
