A North Korean diplomat warns "strong steps" would follow should the UN take action against the country after its launch of a satellite on Sunday.
The UN Security Council has been debating whether North Korea should be punished for the launch.
The US, Japan and key European powers say the launch was a ballistic test in clear violation of a UN resolution.
China and Russia have been more cautious, saying they are yet to be convinced Pyongyang broke the rules.

Pyongyang says the test of the three-stage Taepodong-2 rocket was a success, putting a satellite into orbit which is now transmitting data and revolutionary songs.


North Korea's deputy UN ambassador Pak Tok-hun warned the council against trying to punish Pyongyang, insisting his country had only launched a satellite - rather than a missile - at the weekend.
If the 15-member security council took "any kind of steps whatever, we will consider this infringes upon the sovereignty of our country," he said, threatening "necessary and strong steps".



He did not elaborate on what further steps North Korea might take.
"Every country has the inalienable right to use outer space peacefully," he added.

Weren't there reports of it being a failure anyway? What happened with that?

The US and Japan and Russia confirmed that the 2nd stage of the rocket, and the payload, splashed into the Pacific ocean, yet North Korea is still claiming it is in space broadcasting revolutionary songs.

In North Korea they have all songs dedicated to the Dear Leader and his father and the revolution, it's all nonsense but the people don't know any better.
