N. Korea warns any U.N. action will rupture six-party talks

SEOUL, March 26 (Yonhap) -- North Korea warned Thursday that any U.N. action against its satellite launch will rupture the six-party talks on its denuclearization and prompt Pyongyang to reverse the disablement work at its key nuclear reactor.

Any action by the U.N. Security Council is "a hostile action," a spokesman for
the North's Foreign Ministry said in an interview with the Korean Central News
Agency.
"From the very moment the Sept. 19 joint statement is abrogated due to such a
hostile action, the six-party talks will become non-existent," the unnamed
spokesman warned, referring to a landmark denuclearization deal reached by the
two Koreas, the United States, China, Japan and Russia in 2005.
