Korea likely to conduct nuclear test next week: analysts By Kim Tae-gyu The majority of analysts in South Korea predict North Korea will carry out its threatened nuclear test next week despite opposition from the international community.

Korea's nuke test Seoul, Washington discuss new measures to punish Pyongyang's provocation The U.N. Security Council will take “very stern and strong” action should North Korea carry out another nuclear test, Seoul’s top envoy to the international organization warned Monday. In a meeting with reporters, Kim Sook, who holds the rotating UNSC chairmanship this month, said Pyongyang’s third atomic test in its Punggye-ri site in the country’s northeast was imminent. “The stances of the 15 UNSC member states are united and firm. If North Korea carries out another nuclear test, (I) anticipate that (the UNSC) would take swift, grave measures,” he said. “The UNSC can’t just sit idle when the North makes a shocking, provocative action. The North should give up a dangerous attempt that would undermine the authority and confidence of the UNSC.” UNSC Resolution 2087, which was adopted on Jan. 22 to condemn the North’s December rocket launch, already warns of “significant action” in case of additional provocations...

Pyongyang has vowed to conduct its third nuclear test in retaliation for the U.N. Security Council's resolution condemning its Dec. 12 long-range rocket launch, and there have been a series of signs indicating its imminent detonation. Making good on the nuclear threat, the North issued a string of warnings that it will "target the U.S." "I think they are technically ready or will be ready in a few weeks (for the nuclear test)," William Perry said in an interview with Yonhap News Agency. "It all depends on its political decision. They have to decide their political cost of the test." Perry, who served as Washington's point man on Pyongyang during the Clinton era, also noted that the North can make "a couple of bombs per year with its highly enriched uranium," adding it would either conduct "the first test with bombs made of high enriched uranium" or "the plutonium design they already have to make missiles," or they could do the both...
