A North Korean soldier stands along the banks of the Yalu River after catching a fish in the North Korean town of Sinuiju, in an image taken from across the river in the Chinese border town of Dandong on February 8, 2016. The UN Security Council strongly condemned North Korea's rocket launch on February 7 and agreed to move quickly to impose new sanctions that will punish Pyongyang for "these dangerous and serious violations." With backing from China, Pyongyang's ally, the council again called for "significant measures" during an emergency meeting held after North Korea said it had put a satellite into orbit with a rocket launch.
