VLADIMIR Putin has joined global super powers in condemning North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un for yet another nuclear weapons test.
The Russian leader has pledged to work with its allies to "solve" the worrying North Korea problem.
Pyongyang has rattled the world by holding a nuclear warhead test, which triggered a massive 5.3 magnitude earthquake on Thursday morning.
The North Korean state media confirmed it had carried out the test and revealed the country has a strategic ballistic missile it is ready to use.
But Putin has hit back at Kim Jong-Un's ambitious dictatorship, with a spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry stating: "Such demonstrative disregard for international law and opinion of the international community deserves the strongest condemnation.
"North Korea’s actions, aimed at undermining the global non-proliferation regime, pose a serious threat to peace and security on the Korean Peninsula and in the Asia-Pacific Region. This will have negative consequences primarily for North Korea itself.
"We insist that the North Korean side end its dangerous and reckless misadventures, comply in good faith with all UN Security Council directives, completely abandon its nuclear missile programmes and return to the NPT regime."
US President Barack Obama has warned North Korea's actions present a "grave threat" and pledged to implement sanctions.
Obama claims that "serious consequences" will result from North Korea's "flagrant violation" of UN Security Council Resolutions banning nuclear weapons.
The US leader said: "To be clear, the United States does not, and never will, accept North Korea as a nuclear state.
"Far from achieving its stated national security and economic development goals, North Korea's provocative and destabilising actions have instead served to isolate and impoverish its people through its relentless pursuit of nuclear weapons and ballistic missile capabilities."
Japan's Defense Minister Tomomi Inada has also flagged up concerns, claiming North Korea's actions pose a "serious threat" to Japan's security.
China's foreign minister Hua Chunying has called the situation "quite complex and sensitive" adding: "We hope all relevant parties can avoid taking actions that may escalate tensions, and can make joint efforts to maintain peace and stability on the peninsula."
