Timeline - North Korea's brushes with international community

(Reuters) - Here is a look at North Korea's recent brushes with the international community, following its third nuclear weapons test on Tuesday.

April 5, 2009 - North Korea launches missile carrying a satellite over the Sea of Japan. The test fails to make orbit, but prompts unanimous condemnation by the U.N. Security Council as a violation of sanctions barring the use of ballistic missile technology. Nine days later, North Korea condemns the U.N. Security Council statement and withdraws from the "Six Party Talks" on its nuclear programme. It also announces its intention to reactivate its nuclear facilities.
