[quote:Don'tBeAfraid:MV8yMTI0ODk3XzM1ODU0ODAwXzQzM0NEQzk4] I'm glad to see this pinned. No nation declares marial law without a reason. Something has changed, but because there's such limited information coming from North Korea, it may be awhile (if ever) than we know what happened. I would suspect some military folks tried an abortive attempt at a coup, or else some organied resistance is happening. Here's a related story: http://www.theatlanticwire.com/global/2013/01/dont-look-now-iran-and-north-korea-are-upping-their-nuclear-games/61622/ " An officer with the Korean People's Army chimed in with something you'd probably hear from a Mortal Kombat character: We, servicepersons, are now filled with the fixed will to annihilate at once the hostile forces infringing upon the sovereignty of the country. The powerful striking means of the Paektusan revolutionary army have already been in full readiness to shower fire of merciless punishment on the disgusting den of evils and show what a real war is like." And another one: http://www.businessinsider.com/north-korea-placed-under-martial-law-ahead-of-expected-nuclear-test-2013-1 "While it has been anticipated that Pyongyang will go ahead with what will be the regime's third nuclear test, in spite of international pressure to refrain from doing so, analysts had predicted that the blast would be timed to coincide with the birthday on February 16 of Kim Jong-il, the former leader who died in late 2011, or the inauguration of the new government in South Korea nine days later. The reports now suggest that the demonstration of North Korea's nuclear prowess is more imminent. In March 1993, North Korea placed the nation under martial law shortly before it announced it was withdrawing from the Treaty in the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. The regime also ordered its troops to be ready for war." [/quote]

Jong-un issues a martial law order
한·미 양국 '초비상'… 北, 결국 사고 칠 듯 Jan 31,2013
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un issued a secret order to “complete preparations for a nuclear weapons test between Tuesday and yesterday” and carry it out sometime soon, a source told the JoongAng Ilbo.
Kim also reportedly said, “The country will be under martial law starting from midnight Jan. 29 and all the frontline and central units should be ready for a war,” the source said.
The North’s state media reported Sunday that Kim convened an emergency meeting with top defense and security officials on Saturday. It said Kim made a stern command to take “effective, high-profile state measures” and “assigned specific tasks” to officials. The measures were sparked by new sanctions unanimously passed by the United Nations Security Council on North Korean entities and individuals, including travel bans and asset freezes, the media said. The reports boosted speculation that Kim is preparing a third nuclear weapons test.
