North Korea May Be Preparing Second Test
Australian news reports that North Korea seems to be preparing for a second nuclear weapon test.
Kim Seung-Gyu, head of South Korea's spy agency, told parliament that activity involving vehicles and as many as 40 people was under way at Punggyeri in the north-eastern county of Kilju, Yonhap news agency reported.
"From 4pm (AEST) today, there have been some unusual movements under way at Punggyeri where we had thought the first nuclear test would be carried out," Mr Kim was quoted as saying. "We have been closely following developments there to find out whether North Korea is moving to conduct a series of tests as India and Pakistan did," he said.
What we should do about Korea is far beyond my expertise, but Matt Yglesias and Brad Plumer have some thoughts.
