North Korea prepares for seventh nuclear test under Kim Jong-un’s command
North Korea has reportedly readied itself for a prompt seventh nuclear test, with leader Kim Jong-un poised to give the order. The isolated nation is also bolstering efforts to secure nuclear materials and set up production facilities for warheads.
An unnamed official from North Korea's defense agency has revealed these preparations to the press. The test could take place at the No. 3 tunnel in the Punggye-ri site, and could happen swiftly once Kim Jong-un gives the green light. This would mark the first nuclear test since 2017, when North Korea conducted an underground explosion.
North Korea's nuclear capabilities remain a significant concern for the international community. The potential seventh test underscores the country's commitment to its nuclear program, despite ongoing diplomatic efforts to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula.
