美国总统奥巴马敦促加强导弹防御系统，以应对来自朝鲜的威胁。朝鲜无视联合国的制裁决议，进行了第三次核试验。

奥巴马星期二发表年度国情咨文演讲时，誓言将针对朝鲜核试验采取“坚决的行动”。


在奥巴马发表演讲的几小时前，联合国安全理事会一致谴责朝鲜进行地下核试验，并说这一举动“严重违反”了先前国际社会针对朝鲜武器项目的制裁规定。


U.S. President Barack Obama is calling for a strengthened missile defense system in order to counter the threat of North Korea, which defied U.N. sanctions by conducting its third nuclear test.

Speaking Tuesday at the annual State of the Union address, President Obama vowed to take "firm action" in response to the test.

Mr. Obama's speech came just hours after the U.N. Security Council unanimously condemned the underground nuclear test, calling it a "grave violation" of previous international sanctions against North Korea's weapons program.
