New Delhi: India on Sunday said it "deplored" the latest nuclear test conducted by North Korea that has rung alarm bells across the world. A statement from the foreign ministry said India remains concerned about the proliferation of nuclear and missile technologies which has "adversely impacted" her national security.
"It is a matter of deep concern that DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) has once again acted in violation of its international commitments which goes against the objective of the de-nuclearization of the Korean peninsula, which has been endorsed by DPRK itself," the External Affairs Ministry said in a statement.
North Korea announced on Sunday morning that it has tested a hydrogen bomb with "unprecedentedly big power" that can be loaded onto an intercontinental ballistic missile.
The new nuclear test -- Pyongyang's sixth - is set to increase tensions in Asia, where concerns about a military conflict has grown following the war of words between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un.
Within hours of the test on Sunday, President Trump said "appeasement with North Korea" will not work. "North Korea has conducted a major Nuclear Test," President Trump said, "Their words and actions continue to be very hostile and dangerous to the United States."
