UN Security Council to meet Thursday on North Korea: diplomats

[UNITED NATIONS, United States] The UN Security Council will meet on Thursday to discuss the situation in North Korea, diplomats said, after Pyongyang said it tested a new hypersonic gliding missile - the latest apparent advance in the nuclear-armed nation's weapons technology.

The meeting - organised at the request of the United States, Britain and France - is expected to take place on Thursday morning behind closed doors, a diplomat told AFP, without saying if the talks were expected to result in the adoption of a joint statement.
