North Korea 'plans third nuclear test'

North Korea says it is proceeding with plans for a third nuclear test.

In a statement carried by KCNA news agency, the top military body said the "high-level nuclear test" and more long-range rocket launches were aimed at its "arch-enemy", the US.
The statement gave no time-frame for the test. North Korea has conducted two nuclear tests, in 2006 and 2009.
The move comes two days after a UN Security Council resolution condemned Pyongyang's recent rocket launch.

The Security Council also expanded sanctions against the communist country following its December launch, which was seen by the US and North Korea's neighbours as a banned test of long-range missile technology.

North Korea said the rocket was solely aimed at putting a satellite into space for peaceful purposes.


The statement, which came from North Korea's National Defence Commission, hit out at the resolution as "illegal", before pledging a response.

"We do not hide that the various satellites and long-range rockets we will continue to launch, as well as the high-level nuclear test we will proceed with, are aimed at our arch-enemy the United States," KCNA quoted it as saying.

"Settling accounts with the US needs to be done with force, not with words," it added.


Recent reports from South Korean and US bodies which monitor North Korea's nuclear test sites had said North Korea could be preparing for a third test.

This is called guts :thumb: don't give a damn about what UN or US-NATO tells or warns with sanctions

Iran & korea are not afraid of isolation in world cummunity but they have sticked to their aim becoming a nuclear power country, one reason of becoming nuclear power is America-NATO

NATO have never interfeared in a full scale against nuclear powered nation on supporting civil war supporting rebels , like what they have done in Libya , Iraq,yugoslavia etc

Only pakistan to some extent because they are beggernation with nuclear bomb

Syria has large number of chemical weapons, prob biological weapons which could do as much or more damage as nuclear weapons and we support the overthrow of the current regime.

I don't think the US would unless of course there's a nuclear tipped NOKOR missile hurtling towards the US territory...

North Korea to carry out third nuclear test 'aimed at US'

North Korea to carry out third nuclear test 'aimed at US' - Telegraph

Defying a resolution issued by the United Nations Security Council on Tuesday that condemned Pyongyang for test-firing a missile in December and tightened existing sanctions on the regime, North Korea's National Defence Commission said the new nuclear test would be part of its action against the "sworn enemy of the Korean people".

North Korea also vowed to push ahead with launches of more long-range rockets.

I am not clear about your distinction between Pakistan on one hand and and NK/Iran on the other. Maybe it's a "enemy of my enemy is my friend" thing?

Pakistan and israel are regarded as the most closest ally of USA

though after 3 months our relation will be ceased with each other
Why after three months, why not do it now?

So, you think that US is supporting you all this time. You are still in the dark my brother. The place were the US has set its foot has been turned to ashes and the present situation in pakistan is due to the US. Please believe in your brothers and not the US.

I think you are right, but S0S Hillary Clinton implicitly denied the overt support of FSA with weapons from Libya via Turkey in her testimony to Congress on 23/1/2013.

Well, I like your attitude, anyway. :)

US options with NK have always been limited in reality, except for support of South Korea.

I'm thinking the next time we nuke a country we shouldn't rebuild it afterwords like we did Japan. This time we should make it our 51 state.

N. Korea threatens military action against 'southern puppets'

Pyongyang has warned of 'physical countermeasures' against South Korea if they participate in the UN sanctions against the North. Tensions are simmering on the peninsula after North Korea announced a third military test 'targeting' the US.
"If the South Korean puppet regime of traitors directly participates in the so-called UN sanctions, strong physical countermeasures will be taken," the North's Committee for Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland said.
The threat follows North Korea's announcement that it will conduct a third nuclear test with a view to targeting to the US. Pyongyang defiantly stated that it was prepared to embark on a "fully-fledged confrontation'' against its "arch enemy" America on Thursday.
China and the US wasted no time in reacting to North Korea's warmongering rhetoric, condemning the threats as "needlessly provocative."

Artificial quake detected in NKorea


South Korea has detected an "artificial earthquake" at North Korea's nuclear test site, Yonhap news agency reported Tuesday, suggesting Pyongyang had gone ahead with a threatened atomic test

Yonhap said an "artificial earthquake of 5.1 magnitude" had been detected in Kilju county, where the Punggye-ri test site is located.

The US Geological Survey measured it as a 4.9-magnitude quake at a very shallow depth of just one kilometre (0.6 miles

The South Korean defence ministry and the presidential Blue House both said they were trying to verify whether a nuclear detonation had taken place.

Pyongyang has been threatening a "higher-level" nuclear test for weeks despite warnings of severe repercussions from the UN Security Council.

If confirmed, it would mark the third time the North has detonated a nuclear device, following previous tests in 2006 and 2009.


N. Korea tremor 'different from quake': Japan

Scientists in Japan said Tuesday the earth tremor measured in the northest of the Korean peninsula was "different from a normal earthquake", reports said.

"The Japanese meteorlolgical agency detected the wave is different from a normal earthquake and centred at a latitude of 41.2 North and longitude 129.3 East, which is estimated at magnitude 5.2 when converting to an earthquake," public broadcaster NHK reported.
