(LEAD) N. Korea threatens ‘new form’ of nuclear test
SEOUL, March 30 (Yonhap) — North Korea threatened Sunday to carry out a “new form” of nuclear test in response to a U.N. condemnation of the North's recent ballistic missile launches.
North Korea test-fired two ballistic missiles into the sea off its east coast on Wednesday, drawing international condemnation for its violation of relevant U.N. Security Council (UNSC) resolutions.
The Security Council condemned the launches the following day, saying it was considering an “appropriate response”. It stopped short of issuing a formal statement or imposing penalties on the North.
“It (North Korea) would not rule out a new form of nuclear test for bolstering up its nuclear deterrence,” the North's foreign ministry said in an English-language statement carried by state media Korean Central News Agency, monitored in Seoul.
The statement also warned the U.S. against “acting rashly,” saying Washington will bear all responsibility in the event of a “catastrophic” event on the Korean Peninsula.
“It is quite natural for the KPA to make full preparations to cope with the prevailing grave situation as its mission is to protect the security of the country and its people and defend peace,” the statement said, referring to the Korean People's Army of North Korea.
“If the UNSC persistently tries to deny the exercise of the DPRK’s just right by partially citing the unreasonable ‘resolutions’ according to the U.S. scenario, it will end up escalating tensions and sparking conflict only, far from contributing to keeping peace and security on the Korean peninsula and in the region.”
DPRK is the acronym of North Korea's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
The missile launches came hours after the leaders of South Korea, the U.S. and Japan met on the sidelines of a nuclear security summit in The Hague, the Netherlands, and urged the communist nation to give up all of its nuclear programs in a complete, verifiable and irreversible manner.
South Korea's defense ministry said the launches appeared to be in protest of international pressure to denuclearize as well as the ongoing joint military exercises between Seoul and Washington, which Pyongyang has long condemned as preparation for a nuclear war against it.
South Korea and the U.S. insist that the annual drills are defensive in nature.
And his favorite sock puppet is Sec of Defense.
