After its third nuclear test earned swift international condemnation, North Korea on Tuesday made a vague promise for “second and third measures of greater intensity” if the United States maintains its posture, the Associated Press reported.
The first test, the North Korea Foreign Ministry said in a statement that was quoted by the AP, was only a “first response” to what it views as U.S. aggression. Calling the test a “self-defensive measure,” the Foreign Ministry also insisted that it did not violate international law.
