North Korea Becomes a Nuclear power, TEH DOOM3D!
North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported Monday the country has performed a successful nuclear test.
South Korean government officials also said North Korea performed its first nuclear test, the South's Yonhap news agency reported
According to KCNA, there was no radioactive leakage from the site.
South Korean officials could not immediately confirm the Yonhap report.
South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun convened an urgent meeting of security advisers over the issue, Yonhap reported.
The North said last week it would conduct a nuclear test as part of its deterrent against a possible U.S. invasion.
The report of the test came as Japan's new Prime Minister Shinzo Abe arrived in Seoul for meetings with President Roh Moo-hyun to address the nuclear issue as well as address strains in relations between the two countries over territorial and historical disputes.
North Korea accused rival South Korea on Monday of committing a serious provocation by firing warning shots during a weekend incident in which the South says soldiers from the communist North crossed over their border.
The border shooting came Saturday. South Korean soldiers rattled off about 40 warning shots after a group of five North Korean troops crossed into the southern side of the no-man's-land separating the divided Korean peninsula, South Korea said.
Well isn't this great news!
And isn't it America's fault for supplying them with this?
North Korea should be careful.
They don't have enough money or resources to go to war. The people don't even have enough to eat.
If it comes to war (which I hope, for the sake of the people), it should be over soon. They can't stand against the UN should they strike them. Now that it seems even China are turning their back... North Korea is very arone and ...
I don't wish for War but I guess if they are a danger to the world I guess they must be stopped. Mysteriously, the same day of the nuclear test, US currency gained on many if not all other currencies!
