“(2nd LD) N. Korea confirms second nuclear test”
By Kim Hyun
SEOUL, May 25 (Yonhap) —
SNIPPET: “According to the Seoul-based Korea Meteorological Administration, artificial seismic waves were detected at 9:54 a.m. and their origin was 10-15 km away from the previous test site near the town of Kilju, in the country’s northeast province of North Hamgyong.
The waves had a magnitude of 4.5 on the Richter Scale, compared to the previous 3.6, the agency said. The North said the second test was “higher” in terms of its explosive power and technology.
Analysts have said the previous test was a relatively small one with an explosive force of less than one kiloton.
The test results “helped satisfactorily settle the scientific and technological problems ... further increasing the power of nuclear weapons and steadily developing nuclear technology,” the report said.”
SNIPPET: “Yang also said North Korea appears to be expecting increased internal military unity as a result of the nuclear test.”
