North Korean Nuclear Site Steps up Activities ahead of Obama's South Korea Visit

North Korea is believed to have stepped up activities at the Punggye-ri nuclear test site ahead of US President Barack Obama's two-day visit to South Korea from 26 April.

"The Punggye-ri nuclear test site has shown increased movement of vehicles and forces compared to the past. South Korean and US forces have been closely monitoring the latest development to detect signs of another test," a senior South Korean military official told Yonhap news agency.

North Korea had earlier threatened a "new form" of nuclear test in response to the US-South Korea joint military drill, which has now ended.

Earlier reports suggested that North Korea was ready to conduct a nuclear test barring final preparations. The country is prohibited from conducting such tests under UN sanctions.

Dear God. Don’t let anything happen to the President.

I’ve always wondered, what do you do if you push the ‘detonate’ button and nothing happens? If it was a firecracker you’d put it in a bucket of water to make sure it doesn’t misfire, but what do you do with a nuclear warhead? Curious minds want to know.

A test that actually works the way it's supposed to?

Timing is everything. They want something bad. And they will pull a hissy fit to shake down Uncle Sugar if they have to do so.
