Baku, September 4, AZERTAC

The U.S. and several allies on Sunday called for an open emergency meeting at the United Nations Security Council following North Korea's latest nuclear test, according to Anadolu Agency.

"We along w/Japan, France, the UK and S.Korea have called for an emergency Security Council meeting on N.Korea in the open tomorrow at 10am," U.S. envoy to the global body, Nikki Haley wrote on Twitter.

The announcement came after UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres joined world leaders in condemning the test as a "serious breach" of international law.

The test "undermines international non-proliferation and disarmament efforts", Guterres said in a statement that described it as "profoundly destabilizing for regional security".
