North Korea Nuclear “War”- Angelica Proano

The threats from North Korea have kept coming in and appearing in the news a lot lately. Even though, there are some sources that keep stating there aren’t any nuclear testing going on in North Korea, other sources state that there has been and are still occurring.

At the BBC news, there is an article that states that in fact North Korea is has not carried out any nuclear testing. This news is coming from sources within South Korea. However, the North has said it is withdrawing all its workers from the shared Kaesong industrial complex. The Minister from South Korea, is the source that had earlier said that North Korea is doing nuclear testing.

According to NPR news “North Korea’s regime is skilled at making threats. And fortunately, the most ominous of those threats have not been followed by action in recent decades.” South Korean Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin says North Korea has moved a missile with considerable range to its east coast. Kim told the South Korean parliament Thursday that the North Korean missile however is not capable of hitting the United States. Kim suspects that the missile could have been moved for testing drills. According to this article there is no sign of military movement that could suggest for a conflict between North Korea, South Korea & the U.S. At least in this source there is sign of nuclear movement even though the threats still are not in full effect.

In both sources there is an agreement that North Korea has said it may shut down a joint industrial zone it has with South Korea. This is where companies from the South get some goods produced. Currently, South Koreans have been blocked from entering the Kaesong industrial zone.
