The US state department says there “will definitely be consequences” for North Korea following the sinking of a South Korean warship in March.
The North is facing international condemnation after investigators blamed it for the sinking of the ship, in which 46 sailors died.
Pyongyang has rejected the claim as a “fabrication” and threatened war if sanctions were imposed.
China urged restraint and did not criticise the North.
The report – by a team including experts from the US, Australia, Britain and Sweden – concluded that a torpedo had sunk the Cheonan corvette.
The investigators said parts of the torpedo found on the sea floor had lettering that matched a North Korean design.
