The United Nations Security Council is panning more sanctions following the launch of a long-range rocket by North Korea.
North Korean state media said the launch was to place a satellite in orbit, but critics believe the real purpose was to test a ballistic missile.
A satellite sent into space by North Korea is in orbit but it is not yet clear whether it is working, South Korea's defence ministry has said.
The UN has vowed to impose further sanctions as punishment.
The US said on Monday that this could include "a range of economic sanctions that would further isolate North Korea" and send a clear signal "that the resolve of the international community here is firm".
