On April 30, South Korean officials told The Korea Times and YTN TV that North Korea’s test of a medium-range missile on April 29 was not a failure, as widely reported in the world press, because it was deliberately detonated at 72 kilometers altitude. 72 kilometers is the optimum burst height for a 10-Kt warhead making an EMP attack. …
According to South Korean officials, “It’s believed the explosion was a test to develop a nuclear weapon different from existing ones.” Japan’s Tetsuro Kosaka writes in Nikkei, “Pyongyang could be saying, ‘We could launch an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack if things get really ugly.'”
“The April 29 missile launch looks suspiciously like practice for an EMP attack,” Pry wrote. “The missile was fired on a lofted trajectory, to maximize, not range, but climbing to high-altitude as quickly as possible, where it was successfully fused and detonated — testing everything but an actual nuclear warhead.”
This weekend, an editorial published in the North Korean state-run media agency KNCA threatened the White House would be “reduced to ashes.”
The same news agency warned last week that “any military provocation against the DPRK will precisely mean a total war which will lead to the final doom of the US.” DPRK stands for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, or North Korea.

Let’s not wait for him to fire a missile — let us be the first to do so.
Why should they? They are on Kim’s side.
“Have a nice day.”
I will, unlike those that run around paranoid about EMP and roadrunner tunnels.
Lou Dobbs(FOX News) had a guest on his show who spoke about the possibility of NK to do us in with an EMP.
Kim’s life against the lives of 330 million Americans seems an even trade to him.
The US government should at least make an official statement regarding this national threat.
It is claimed that the Norks have an atomic divise in a satellite in low orbit.
This should help you sleep at night!
PING!
Nonsense. Post your source, please.
I heard it today on “Lou Dobbs tonight” on FOX News.
How does that square with the article's assertion that the delivery system is an orbiting satellite? Or am I misunderstanding? This is not my field.
Who is running around paranoid about area EMP? Road a runner tunnels? Where’d that come from? Is an EMP like a Road Runner tunnel? Or is your brain on LSD?
I hope we will never be forced to find out.
I don’t get it. I’m not real Freep savvy
Anyone who must take a daily medication and whose provider won’t write scrip for a few months’ supply has reason to feel some concern.
