UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon says tensions have already soared too high on the Korean peninsula and has warned Pyongyang against making nuclear threats.
"I am deeply troubled.... The current crisis has already gone too far," Ban said at a press conference in Andorra.
"Nuclear threats are not a game... things must begin to calm down.
"There is no need for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to be on a collision course with the international community," he said after Pyongyang announced it would restart a nuclear reactor to feed its atomic weapons program.
The Korean peninsula has been caught in a cycle of escalating tensions since the North's February nuclear test, which followed a long-range rocket launch in December.
Ban said he feared an escalation in the crisis.
"I'm convinced that nobody intends to attack the DPRK because of a disagreement about its political system or foreign policy. However I'm afraid that others will respond firmly to any direct military provocation," Ban said.
"Dialogue and negotiations are the only way to resolve the current crisis."
Ban said he was "deeply concerned" about the wider effects of tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
"Peace and stability in and around the Korean Peninsula has very important regional and even global implications," he said.
"I urge again the authorities of the DPRK to fully abide by the relevant Security Council resolutions and refrain from making further provocative measures," Ban said.
