North Korea plans conducting third nuclear test after failed rocket launch | North Korea has almost completed preparations for a third nuclear test after it failed to launch long-range missile last month, according to a report. The communist country and its new leader Kim Jong-Un were deeply embarrassed when
the much hyped Unha-3, or 'Milky Way', rocket exploded 90 seconds after blast
off and crashed down into the Yellow Sea. Now, North Korea appears to be about
to carry out a third nuclear test after two in 2006 and 2009, The Daily Mail reports.
"Soon. Preparations are almost complete," a source said when asked whether North
Korea was planning to conduct a nuclear test. This is the first time a senior
official has confirmed the planned test and the source has correctly predicted
events in the past, revealed the 2006 test days before it happened. According
to the paper, the source did not specify whether the test would be a third test
using plutonium, of which it has limited stocks, or whether North Korea would
use uranium. Meanwhile, Defence experts have said that by successfully enriching
uranium, to make bombs of the type dropped on Hiroshima nearly 70 years ago, North
Korea would be able to significantly build up stocks of weapons-grade nuclear
material.
