North Korea plans nuclear test
North Korea plans to undertake a third nuclear test and more long-range rocket launches. The country's top military body said the tests were aimed at its "enemy" the United States.
Nuclear test declaration follows UN sanctions
North Korea's declaration they would undertake a nuclear test and more long-range rocket launches follows the United Nations Security Council's condemnation of the country on Tuesday.
The UN expanded sanctions against the regime for launching a rocket in December.
North Korea said the launch was a peaceful satellite mission, but the US and others said it was a test of long-range missile technology.
