North Korea plans nuclear test amid chilling warning of ‘unparalleled’ response

Washington and its allies are becoming concerned that North Korea could be close to resuming its nuclear testing program for the first time since 2017 – threatening Pyongyang with an “unparalleled” response should they push ahead with its test

The United States, Japan and South Korea warned on Wednesday that an “unparalleled” scale of response would be warranted if North Korea conducts a seventh nuclear bomb test.

Washington and its allies believe North Korea could be about to resume nuclear bomb testing for the first time since 2017.

“We agreed that an unparalleled scale of response would be necessary if North Korea pushes ahead with a seventh nuclear test,” South Korean First Vice Foreign Minister Cho Hyun-dong told a news conference in Tokyo.

Cho was speaking alongside his Japanese and US counterparts, Vice Foreign Minister Takeo Mori and Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman.
