Despite condemnation from the UN Security Council for carrying out a nuclear test, North Korea has fired two more missiles.

The secretive communist state tested two short-range missiles, leading to street protests in South Korea and warnings from the US that it will "pay a price".

North Korea is facing further sanctions from the UN after conducting the underground test. But one of its diplomats told a UN disarmament conference a proposed deal on nuclear material could be jeopardised.
