MOSCOW - The UN Security Council would meet on Monday to discuss the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's (DPRK's) nuclear test, Russia's UN ambassador Vitaly Churkin was quoted as saying by Itar-Tass news agency.

Russian officials said they were studying reports of the test.

Earlier in the day, the Republic of Korea's (ROK's) presidential office reported it has detected an "artificial earthquake" in the DPRK, which was later confirmed by the DPRK as its 2nd nuclear test.

The test site is located 10 to 15 km away from the first site in Kilju in North Hamkyong Province.

The DPRK has recently threatened to conduct another nuclear test after the UN Security Council announced a presidential statement condemning the April 5 rocket launch.
