Congratulations to North Korea
North Korea’s U.N. ambassador, Pak Kil-yon, said Monday that the council should “congratulate” his country’s scientists and researchers on their achievement, instead of issuing what he called “notorious, useless and reckless resolutions.”
Pak said the test was “very, very successful” and will contribute “to the maintenance and guarantee of peace and security in the (Korean) peninsula and the region.”
Asked if North Korea planned further tests, Pak told reporters, “That will be enough, you don’t think so?”
Hm.
Congratulations to the North Korean government for spending 80 percent of their GDP to detonate a couple of stink bombs underground, reminding me of the antics of Josh who sat a couple of rows behind me in 6th grade and was the kind of kid who might send off a stink bomb now and again.
Japan said it had detected no seismic waves in North Korea on Wednesday between 5:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. (2000 GMT-2330 GMT Tuesday).
“We checked data thoroughly, but we detected no seismic waves,” Land Minister Tetsuzo Fuyushiba told a parliamentary committee.
Japanese public broadcaster NHK reported earlier that North Korea appeared to have conducted another nuclear test.
There was a quake of magnitude 6.0 by Japan measurement standards at 8:58 a.m. (2358 GMT) in the ocean northeast of Tokyo, the Japanese Meteorological Agency said.
