The resolution was unanimously adopted by the 15 members of the council Wednesday morning in response to North Korea's nuclear test on Jan. 6 and satellite launch on Feb. 7.
 
The council condemned in the strongest terms the nuclear test on Jan. 6, which was "in violation and flagrant disregard of the Council's relevant resolutions," and further condemned the country's satellite launch on Feb. 7, which "used ballistic missile technology," according to the resolution.
