North Korea says it has carried out its first test of a nuclear weapon, the state news agency (KCNA) has reported. It said the underground test, carried out in defiance of international warnings, was a success and had not resulted in any leak of radiation.
The White House said South Korean and US intelligence had detected a seismic event at a suspected test site.
Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said the test was "unpardonable", while China denounced the action as "brazen".
The White House said the test, if confirmed, would constitute "a provocative act".
"We expect the UN Security Council to take immediate actions to respond to this unprovoked act," said spokesman Tony Snow.
South Korea said it would "sternly respond".
President Roh Moo-hyun has called an emergency meeting of the National Security Council and put the armed forces on a heightened state of alert.
Seoul also suspended a scheduled aid shipment to North Korea, the state news agency reported.
