The authorities in the Russian Far East believe it highly likely that North Korea will conduct a nuclear test within a week, according to Japanese news agency Kyodo.
According to the official cited by Kyodo yesterday, “It seems possible that North Korea’s third nuclear test will be conducted within a week. We have evidence for this judgment.”
“If the nuclear test happens in the period before Prime Minister Putin takes office as President on May 7th then it could be very unpleasant for Russia,” the source went on.
Meanwhile, U.S. network NBC also rasserted today, “It is 100% likely that North Korea will conduct a nuclear test within the next two weeks,” while Reuters also reported an exclusive source as saying, “North Korea has almost completed preparations for a third nuclear test.”
