UN Security Council to meet Tuesday on N.Korea nuclear test
UNITED NATIONS, Feb 12 (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council will hold an emergency meeting on North Korea's apparent nuclear test at 9:00 a.m. EST (1400 GMT) on Tuesday, council diplomats said.
Diplomats had said previously that the United States, South Korea and European members would want the Security Council to adopt a resolution that would impose new sanctions on Pyongyang in the event of a third nuclear test in defiance of earlier council resolutions.
Getting approval on a council resolution, however, could take weeks.

the link calls it a "test", not "explosion" (that word implies an accident). n/t
