US President Barack Obama says North Korea's "provocative" nuclear test does not make it more secure, calling for "swift" and "credible" international action.
Obama also vowed in a written statement on Tuesday that Washington would remain vigilant in the face of the underground detonation by the Stalinist state and steadfast in its defence commitments to its allies in Asia.
"These provocations do not make North Korea more secure," Obama said.
"Far from achieving its stated goal of becoming a strong and prosperous nation, North Korea has instead increasingly isolated and impoverished its people through its ill-advised pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery."
Obama complained that the test was a "highly provocative act" that -- following the North's December 12 ballistic missile launch -- undermined regional stability and violated UN Security Council resolutions.
"The danger posed by North Korea's threatening activities warrants further swift and credible action by the international community," Obama said, ahead of an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council called for later on Tuesday.
"The United States will also continue to take steps necessary to defend ourselves and our allies," Obama said.
