Obama: North Korea “Recklessly Challenging The International Community” President Obama released a statement at about 2 a.m. ET, on North Korea’s claimed nuclear test. “By acting in blatant defiance of the United Nations Security Council, North Korea is directly and recklessly challenging the international community,” Obama said. “North Korea’s behavior increases tensions and undermines stability in Northeast Asia.

It will not find international acceptance unless it abandons its pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery.”
