Predictions of N. Korea's fifth nuclear test delayed
- 8 years ago
And with North Korea's ruling Workers' Party congress kicking off,... the possibility of Pyongyang conducting a fifth nuclear test,... appears to have been delayed until AFTER the event.
Amid North Korea's series of ballistic missile tests and increased activities around its main nuclear test site,... many had speculated that another nuclear test may happen prior to the congress.
Some experts now point out,... the reclusive regime is likely to put its focus solely on its congress for the time being... as the regime is feeling increased pressure from the international community,... especially from its long-time ally, China.
The South Korean government is not ruling out chances of another test anytime though,... as Kim Jong-un's moves are more unpredictable than those of his predecessors'.
