North Korea: UN Security Council

Military Leadership Dept: The threat from the North s military leadership comes amid concerns that North Korea may be plotting another provocation in the wake of an unsuccessful rocket launch condemned by the UN Security Council as a violation of a ban against missile activity, according to The Star. There are new concerns that North Korea may conduct a nuclear test as it did after rocket launches in 2006 and 2009. South Korean intelligence officials say recent satellite images show the North has been digging a new tunnel in what could be preparation for a third atomic test and pYONGYANG, NORTH KOREA North Korea s military warned Monday of imminent special actions that would reduce South Korea s conservative government to ashes within minutes, sharply escalating the rhetoric against its southern rival. North Korea characterized the April 13 rocket launch as a failed bid to send a satellite into space not a disguised test of missile technology but then followed up two days later by unveiling a new long-range missile at a military birthday parade for late President Kim Il Sung.
