North Korea ready to carry out nuclear test at any moment, Seoul says | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 13864401 United States 05/24/2012 03:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.cnn.com] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1572199 Seoul, South Korea (CNN) -- North Korea appears to be ready to carry out a nuclear test whenever leaders of the reclusive state give the green light, a spokesman for the South Korean Defense Ministry said Thursday. The comment follows an analysis of recent commercial satellite images by the defense publication IHS Janes, which suggested activity was being ramped up at North Korea's nuclear test site. Mining carts and excavation equipment at the tunneling area of the North's Punggye-ri site can be seen in satellite images taken by Digital Globe and GeoEye in the past month. Earth and debris are being removed from the tunnel in the largest quantities seen so far, according to the Janes assessment. "Based on the sand piles from the commercial satellites, we are assuming that they have put necessary devices for a nuclear test inside the shaft," Kim Min-seok, spokesperson for South Korea's defense ministry said in a regular briefing Thursday. "This means they can conduct a nuclear test any time." Pin dat! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 15629214 Romania 05/25/2012 12:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So sick and tired of hearing about NK's "provocations" ! Each time NK either blows a bomb underground or shells an island or sinks a ship the West condemns these actions but they don't do squat about it ! And what can they do ? NK already suffers from every imaginable sanction... Other than shoving a nuke up Kim's ass I don't see any other solutions to the NK problem ! Those people are just to indoctrinated for a conventional campaign to ever work ! |
