The United States on Monday said countries trading with North Korea were aiding its "dangerous nuclear intentions" as the United Nations Security Council mulled tough new sanctions and the isolated regime showed signs of planning more missile tests.

South Korea said it was talking to Washington about deploying aircraft carriers and strategic bombers to the Korean peninsula following the North's sixth and most powerful nuclear test on Sunday
At a Security Council meeting, United States Ambassador Nikki Haley said North Korea's Kim Jong-un was "begging for war" and urged the 15-member group to adopt the strongest possible measures to deter him.
"War is never something the United States wants. We don't want it now. But our country's patience is not unlimited. We will defend our allies and our territory," Haley said.
"China will never allow chaos and war on the (Korean) Peninsula," said Liu Jieyi, Chinese ambassador to the UN.
