NORTH Korea hinted today that it could resume testing of nuclear explosives and long-range missiles in response to “hostile moves” by the United States.

The official Korean Central News Agency said that leader Kim Jong Un had presided over a meeting of the ruling Workers Party’s politburo which set policy goals for “immediately bolstering” military capabilities to counter the threat from Washington.

Officials gave instructions to “reconsider in an overall scale the trust-building measures that we took on our own initiative … and to promptly examine the issue of restarting all temporally suspended activities,” the news agency reported.
