North Korea said Monday it will bolster its nuclear arsenal "in a newly developed way" to counter what it calls U.S. hostile policy and military threats toward the communist nation.

North Korea has stepped up its fiery rhetoric against the U.S. in recent weeks after Washington sided with Seoul in condemning Pyongyang for the deadly sinking of a South Korean warship in March.
"The recent disturbing development on the Korean Peninsula underscores the need for the DPRK to bolster its nuclear deterrent in a newly developed way," a North Korean foreign ministry spokesman said in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). DPRK stands for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the North's official name.
The North did not elaborate on what the "newly developed way" means. The country runs nuclear arms programs based on plutonium and uranium.
In a separate statement that followed, the Panmunjom Mission of the North's Korean People's Army (KPA) claimed the U.S. brought "various types of heavy weapons" into the truce village on June 26.

The worlds gonna have a pile of egg on its face if that abnormally high radiation level detected near the border between the two Koreas days after North Korea claimed to have mastered complex technology key to manufacturing a hydrogen bomb.
Is indeed real and they have taken the steps needed to build a hydrogen bomb.
If this is based upon his patented invisible cell phone technology, we’re all in deep doo-doo.
Probably means their reactor has cratered and large areas of the country are now deathtraps for anyone going into them.
