| North Korea nuclear crisis: Kim Jong-un ‘begging for war’ |
Nikki Haley told an emergency meeting of the Security Council in New York that America did not want a war but its patience was “not unlimited”.
The US will table a new UN resolution shortly to toughen sanctions.
China, the North’s main ally, has called for a return to negotiations and Switzerland has offered to mediate.
Meanwhile South Korea’s navy carried out live-fire naval drills on Tuesday, warning that if the North provoked them “we will immediately hit back and bury them at sea”, reported Yonhap news agency.
It comes a day after the South’s military simulated a missile attack on the North’s nuclear test site.
On Sunday, it tested a bomb underground, which was thought to have a power range from 50 kilotonnes to 120 kilotonnes. A 50kt device would be about three times the size of the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima in 1945.
