N Korea says it blew up mountain

North Korea has given an explanation for the huge blast last Thursday which prompted speculation that it was a part of a nuclear test.

The country's foreign minister, Paek Nam Sun, said the blast was the deliberate demolition of a mountain as part of a hydro-electric project.

His remarks were in response to a call for information by the visiting UK Foreign Office minister, Bill Rammell.

North Korea had said absolutely nothing about the incident until now.

Conventional explosive events also produce mushroom clouds.
