A senior North Korean diplomat on Wednesday renewed threats to carry out a nuclear test over the Pacific Ocean.
The threat of conducting the nuclear test over the Pacific, which would lead to disastrous health effects, was first made by North Korea’s foreign minister at the time of the U.N. General Assembly in New York in September.
