North Korea may be preparing for sixth nuclear weapon test, South Korea says

by Melissa Quinn | Aug 28, 2017, 9:46 AM

South Korean officials are warning that North Korea may be preparing for a sixth nuclear weapon test, according to a report.

During a parliamentary session, Seoul's National Intelligence Service told South Korean lawmakers it picked up signs that North Korea is preparing to conduct another nuclear test at its Punggye-ri underground test site, CNN reported Monday.

Pyongyang last held a nuclear test in September, when the rogue regime detonated what it said was a miniaturized nuclear warhead that could fit on a missile. Analysts, though, said it is almost impossible to verify North Korea's claim.

Kim Byung-kee, a member of South Korea's Democratic Party, said the South Korean intelligence agency reported that North Korea "has completed its preparation to carry out a nuclear test at Tunnel 2 and Tunnel 3 of the Punggye-ri nuclear test site."

The lawmaker added that the National Intelligence Service also detected activity indicating Tunnel 4 was being prepared for additional construction work. Work on the tunnel was stopped last year.

The North Korean officials said "the Americans would be wholly responsible" if there was an escalation with "catastrophic consequences."

If a missile strikes anywhere but NYC the MSM will agree.

Looking forward to this madman having a missile silently fall from the sky and explode on his forehead. He needs to go.

They are likely testing miniature warheads that will fit on a missile.

My suggestion is use a drone to plaster C-4 onto the top of his airplane in the dead of night. Then portray it as a coup from within.

China, Russia, South Korea, USA, Japan should all fire weapons at Kim’s location at the same time.

our three-day trip to North Korea organized by a Chinese tour company taught me more about how Chinese view North Korea than about the North itself
