N. Korea vows to restart nuke weapons factory
Seemingly upset at the UN Security Council’s condemnation of its April 5 long-range missile test, North Korea now is promising to ramp up the development of nuclear weapons.
Fuming at the U.N. Security Council for condemning its recent missile launch, North Korea said Tuesday it will restart its plutonium factory, junk all its disarmament agreements and “never participate” again in six-country nuclear negotiations.
When the 15-member Security Council unanimously condemned that launch on Monday and demanded a halt to all future missile launches, the North’s reaction was swift, vitriolic and surprisingly substantive.

“We have no choice but to further strengthen our nuclear deterrent to cope with additional military threats by hostile forces,” North Korea’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement released by its state news agency.
…That nuclear activity, judging from the North’s statement on Tuesday, is soon to increase.
“We will actively consider building our own light-water nuclear reactor, will revive nuclear facilities and reprocess used nuclear fuel rods,” the ministry said. Experts have said the North does not have the equipment or skills to make an advanced light-water reactor.
Nearly three years ago, North Korea successfully set off a small nuclear device while testing the progress of its weapons program. North Korea will continue to build up its military capability as it prepares to join with China to march against Israel (Revelation 16:12) in a battle where nuclear weapons will likely be used (Revelation 8:7; 9:18).
