North Korea vows to 'make sure the US pays a due price' after UN agrees watered-down sanctions

North Korea's senior envoy to a leading UN disarmament body says his country "categorically" rejects a Security Council resolution imposing new sanctions over its nuclear and missile programmes.

Han Tae Song also lashed out at the US during a plenary session of the UN's Conference on Disarmament, saying Pyongyang denounces Washington's "evil intention" and would "make sure the US pays a due price".
