[NewsCaster]

By Ed Flanagan, Producer, NBC NewsNorth Korea vowed to boost its nuclear capabilities on Wednesday after the United Nations Security Council unanimously passed a resolution condemning its controversial rocket launch last December.

“The present situation clearly proves that (North Korea) should counter the U.S. hostile policy with strength, not with words,” the country’s foreign ministry warned in a statement.

North Korea pledged in the statement to bolster its military capabilities and to build up what it called a “nuclear deterrence."
