People receive extra edition newspapers in Tokyo October 9, 2006 reporting North Korea's nuclear test. 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. [Reuters]
