BEIJING—North Korea’s fifth nuclear test brought calls for action from nations including Russia and Japan, but a deepening schism between the U.S. and China narrows the scope for cooperation on punishing Pyongyang.

Friday’s test shifted attention to what could be done about a nuclear program North Korea said is capable of producing nuclear-tipped missiles. South Korea’s president said she would seek stronger sanctions through the United Nations Security Council, and the top U.S. and Russian diplomats called for discussions about a course of action. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe conferred with U.S. President Barack Obama, urging that Pyongyang be made to “understand the costs” of its provocations.

Options the U.N. body could consider range from tightening sanctions imposed earlier this year to further cutting off North Korea from the international banking system, experts said. But whether the Security Council can act depends heavily on Beijing—North Korea’s ally and main trading partner—which has increasingly sparred with Washington over regional security issues, including tensions in the South China Sea and on the Korean Peninsula.
