As The New York Times is reporting today (and pretty much everyone else): “Angrily responding to the United Nations Security Council’s unanimous decision to impose tightened sanctions, North Korea said on Friday that it was nullifying all nonaggression agreements with South Korea, with one of its top generals claiming that his country had nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles ready to blast off.”

North Korea Nuclear Test
As is being reported all over today, “North Korea has drawn widespread condemnation after conducting a nuclear test in defiance of international bans – a development signaled by an earthquake detected in the country and later confirmed by the regime.” This is N. Korea’s third nuclear test; the others occurred in 2006 and 2009. The Guardian Quotes Dr. Leonid Petrov as saying, “‘The world is now a much more dangerous place.'” Indeed.
And Wired discusses how N. Korea’s weapons are getting bigger based on seismic readings.
