North Korea vows it WILL advance nuclear weapons despite test site collapse<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

North Korea vows it WILL advance nuclear weapons despite test site collapse:- At least 200 people were killed after a tunnel at North Korea\u2019s Punggye-ri facility collapsed, according to reports that emerged yesterday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Foreign experts had earlier warned a collapse was likely, highlighting the danger of a cloud of radioactive fallout escaping from the site and spreading across “an entire hemisphere”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kim Jong-un\u2019s puppet media, the Korean Central News Agency, has announced that it will \u201cdynamically advance on the road of triumph\u201d as it bolsters it nuclear weapons to \u201cput a imperialists’ outrageous nuclear threat and blackmail\u201d, according to the state-controlled Uriminzokkiri website based in China.<\/span><\/p>\n

Referring to North Korea by its acronym, KCNA said: \u201cThe DPRK will dynamically advance on the road of triumph, firmly preserving its independent line in any storm and stress, no matter how desperately the enemies move to check it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe US is running wild in a bid to hold in check the advance of the DPRK for perfecting its state nuclear force.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe DPRK had access to its self-defensive nuclear deterrent and has bolstered it up rapidly by tightening its belt in order to put a definite end to the US imperialists’ outrageous nuclear threat and blackmail and pave an avenue to independent development and eternal prosperity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Around 100 people were killed when an unfinished tunnel collapsed at Kim Jong-un’s main nuclear testing site.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another 100 people subsequently died while attempting to rescue the first group of entombed workers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Punggye-ri was the site of North Korea\u2019s sixth-ever nuclear test on September 3. They tested a huge 100-kilotonne explosive which was around seven times as powerful as the bomb dropped on Hiroshima during WW2.<\/span><\/p>\n

This test is believed to have badly destabilised the mountainside based facility with China later issuing a dire warning to Kim about the state of the nuclear testing site.<\/span><\/p>\n

They said a cloud of nuclear fallout could spread across “an entire hemisphere” if the facility collapsed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Chinese Academy of Sciences\u2019 Institute of Geology and Geophysics warned: \u201cChina cannot sit and wait until the site implodes.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Our instruments can detect nuclear fallout when it arrives, but it will be too late by then.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be public panic and anger at the government for not taking action.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The latest announcement comes as Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump continue to engage in a war of words amidst repeated missile tests and military drills near the Korean Peninsula.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kim Jong-un\u2019s mouthpiece has claimed the region \u201cis on the threshold of a nuclear disaster and no one knows at what time a thermonuclear war will break out\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last month KCNA said: \u201cThe US reckless military gambling against DPRK may lead to its total destruction.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe DPRK is ready to counter the war of aggression with a war of justice and cope with the enemy’s dagger with a sword and his rifle with an artillery piece.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the invariable stand of the Korean army and people and their permanent mode of counteraction.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

KCNA also lashed out at reports that the Trump administration is considering deploying smaller tactical nuclear weapons to the region.<\/span><\/p>\n

It added: \u201cThis sheds light on the sinister scenario to provoke a nuclear war by all means so as to totally destroy the DPRK and exterminate the population of the north.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNow, the Korean Peninsula is on the threshold of a nuclear disaster and no one knows at what time a thermonuclear war will break out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
