Pedestrians in Tokyo watch the news on a huge screen displaying a map of Japan and the Korean Peninsula following a North Korean missile test that passed over Japan on August 29. North  Korean leader Kim Jong Un has vowed he will launch more ballistic missiles into the Pacific Ocean a day after Pyongyang flew a missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead over Japan, North Korea's official news agency says.

The council's resolution, which was supported by China and Russia, also called for "a peaceful, diplomatic, and political solution" and did not threaten new sanctions on North Korea.
