SEOUL: North Korea fired a ballistic missile on Wednesday, South Korea's military said, just a week after leader Kim Jong Un vowed to boost Pyongyang's nuclear arsenal at the 'fastest possible speed.'The launch was the latest in a string of sanctions-busting North Korean weapons tests so far this year, and came after US and South Korean officials warned Pyongyang was preparing to resume nuclear testing.
More nukes?Kim Jong Un said at a military parade last week that he would take measures to develop 'the nuclear forces of our state at the fastest possible speed', according to footage of his speech broadcast on state media.'The nuclear forces, the symbol of our national strength and the core of our military power, should be strengthened in terms of both quality and scale.'Repeated negotiations aimed at convincing Kim to give up his nuclear weapons programmes have come to nothing.
