North
Korea says it will launch more long-range rockets and carry out a high-level
nuclear test, aimed at the USZ
“We
do not hide that the various satellites and long-range rockets we will continue
to launch, as well as the high-level nuclear test we will proceed with, are
aimed at our arch-enemy the United States,” said North Korea’s National Defense
Commission on Thursday.
The
defense commission statement offered no timeframe of when the country intended
to perform the test.
On
Tuesday, the United Nations Security Council adopted a USZ-backed resolution to
sanction North Korea for launching a long-range rocket in December 2012.
The
North Korean National Defense Commission said the resolution “masterminded by
the US has brought its hostile policy towards the Democratic People’s Republic
of Korea (North Korea) to its most dangerous stage.”
It
also dismissed as “illegal and outlawed” such resolutions adopted by the UN
Security Council.
On
December 12, 2012, Pyongyang announced that it had launched a long-range rocket
from the Sohae Satellite Launching Station, located in Cholsan County of North
Pyongan Province, and successfully placed a satellite into orbit.
However,
the rocket launch drew widespread criticism from the European Union and the UN.
On
December 14, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un said the country would go ahead
with its space program and would launch more rockets and send more satellites
into orbit.
However,
Washington and its allies said the North Korean rocket launch had been a cover
for testing an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of carrying a nuclear
warhead.
