Pyongyang tests biggest nuclear weapon to date

A CHORUS of condemnation met North Korea’s biggest nuclear test yet yesterday.

Pyongyang said the test proved it could “produce at will a variety of smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear warheads of higher strike power.”

A resident, Rim Jong Su, told reporters that the test was “really great news” that left him “full of confidence that if the enemies make any little provocations we will counter-attack and we will surely win.”
