If North Korea is determined, it can conduct a nuclear test in a short time!
The South Korean Defense Intelligence Agency stated on November 5 that if North Korea is determined, it can conduct a nuclear test using the third tunnel of Punggye-ri in a short time.
In a report submitted to the parliamentary intelligence committee regarding North Korea's movements, the Defense Intelligence Agency said, "North Korea continues to upgrade and expand its nuclear capabilities. In September 2023, it explicitly stipulated in its constitution the possession and development of nuclear weapons. It continues to demonstrate its nuclear capabilities and guides the international community to implicitly tolerate North Korea's nuclear capabilities."
"North Korea is striving to expand the capacity of uranium enrichment facilities such as Yongbyon to ensure nuclear materials, while establishing a foundation for producing multiple nuclear warheads. If it is determined, it is also possible to conduct a nuclear test using the third tunnel of Punggye-ri in a very short time."
Regarding nuclear missiles, the report said: "North Korea is working on developing various missiles and military reconnaissance satellites. For long-range missiles, it will soon operationalize solid-propellant missiles, cruise missiles, and four types of short-range ballistic missiles, as well as 600mm rocket launchers."
"For medium-range missiles, it is focusing on developing hypersonic cruise missiles to bypass our defense systems. Its intercontinental ballistic missiles have a flight range of more than 13,000 kilometers, reaching the U.S. mainland."
"To ensure nuclear strike capability, North Korea is preparing to modernize the R-class submarine force and is developing and constructing nuclear submarines and other secretive underwater launch platforms."
