Vienna(September 29, 2017): International Atomic Energy Agency(IAEA) says North Korea’s rapid weapons progress poses new, global threat.
IAEA Director Yukiya Amano told reporters in Seoul that North Korea’s sixth nuclear test conducted on 3rd of this month showed the isolated country has made rapid progress on weapons development that posed a new, global threat.
Amano said the IAEA did not have the capacity to determine whether the North had tested a hydrogen bomb, as Pyongyang has claimed.
He said that tensions on the Korean peninsula have increased markedly since the test, which led to a new round of sanctions against the North after a unanimous U.N. Security Council resolution.
