A kilotonne is equivalent to 1,000 tonnes of TNT.

An unidentified source in Russia's foreign ministry called for calm and warned against hysteria after the blast, Tass reported.

The U.N. Security Council would meet on Monday to discuss the DPRK's nuclear test, Russia's U.N. ambassador Vitaly Churkin was quoted as saying by Itar-Tass news agency.
