A map of Japan and the Korean Peninsula released by the Japan Meteorological Agency shows seismic waves originating from a location in North Korea at 0135 GMT believed to be caused by an underground nuclear test on October 9, 2006. North Korea said on Monday it had safely and successfully carried out an underground nuclear test, flying in the face of a warning from the U.N. Security Council and opening its crippled economy to the risk of fresh sanctions.
