The UN Security Council “condemned strongly the” rocket launch by North Korea to put a satellite into orbit, a month later than it announced to be a test of a hydrogen bomb. emergency meeting in New York, found that tests of “ballistic technology contribute to the development of delivery systems for nuclear weapons, which is a violation of the sanctions” in force since 2006, when Pyongyang conducted its first test of a nuclear bomb .

In a first reaction practice, the Ministry of Seoul defense announced the opening of official talks with the United States for installation in South Korea from a US missile defense system to counter the threat of Pyongyang – to which China and Russia oppose firmly.

the prospect of installing Korea one THAAD system (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense), one of the most advanced in the world, has been regularly raised over the last few years.
