North Korea Claims Miniaturized Nuclear Weapons


North Korea Claims Miniaturized Nuclear Weapons
A spokesman from North Korea's National Defense Commission said that it has successfully miniaturized (Yonhap) its nuclear weapons, a technological development which would allow its weapons to be delivered by missile. Earlier this month, Pyongyang also claimed to have successfully test-fired a ballistic missile from a submarine. Meanwhile, Pyongyang abruptly canceled (Korea Times) UN chief Ban Ki-moon's visit to a North Korean industrial complex on Wednesday, a day before his intended arrival.
