North Korea’s Kim calls for expansion of nuclear arsenal
The U.S. House of Representatives voted almost unanimously on Tuesday to pass legislation that would broaden sanctions over North Korea’s nuclear program, days after Pyongyang announced it had tested a powerful nuclear device.

Kim Jong-Un, the leader of the secretive communist state, hailed the test a “success” and said it was created to protect the region “from the danger of nuclear war caused by the US-led imperialists”, according to the country’s news agency.
Park said Seoul and Beijing were discussing a draft U.N. Security Council resolution on North Korea, noting that Beijing has stated repeatedly that it would not tolerate the North’s nuclear programme.
The United Nations Security Council is also mulling new measures to punish North Korea after its announcement of a hydrogen bomb test triggered concerns.
South Korea’s military fired warning shots after spotting an unidentified aerial vehicle approaching its heavily fortified border with North Korea, in the latest incident fueling tensions stemming from Pyongyang’s fourth nuclear test last week. She also said China should realize it can not keep North Korea from conducting “a fifth or sixth nuclear test” until China’s commitment translates into action.
China rejects complaints it is not doing enough on North Korea.
“It’s really hard to know what a proportional response to a nuclear test is, if you’re South Korea”, says Kretchun.
The nuclear negotiators from the three countries are slated to meet in Seoul on Wednesday for talks.
But a relentless struggle to survive in impoverished North Korea has meant many people have been too preoccupied to pay too much attention to news of bombs.
Ms Park defended the broadcasts as an “effective psychological measure” and said her government would push ahead with all efforts to inform North Koreans about “the truth” of their regime.
“The failed launch combined with testing from a barge shows that North Korea still has a long way to go to develop this system”, said the analysis by John Schilling, an aerospace engineer who is a specialist in satellite and launch vehicle propulsion systems.
North Korea claims it’s ready to detonate its H-bomb capable of wiping out the whole of the USA “all at once”.
She added, “The global community’s countermeasures against North Korea’s last nuclear test must differ from the past”.
Turning to Beijing, South Korea’s president Park Geun-hye stressed China’s condemnations of North Korea.
“In that society, I was happy and felt like we had become more militarily powerful”, said Oh, who is now 18 and fled to South Korea in July 2013, five months after the test.
A potential new security threat was sparked in 2014 when Seoul officials discovered what they called several North Korean drones that had flown across the border.
