Seoul: North Korea has increased its activities in the Yongbyon nuclear facility. This was exposed in the satellite photographs released by a US-based thinktank. Analysts claim that this indicates that North Korea has started processing Plutonium, necessary for an atomic bomb. Last week, North Korea increased the problems for the Biden administration in the United States, by conducting four missile tests.
On Tuesday, the US thinktank, Centre for Strategic and International Studies, closely monitoring North Korean activities, released satellite photographs. These include photographs of the radiochemistry laboratory and the thermal plant located in the city of Yongbyon. The think-tank pointed out that water vapour was being emitted from one of the chimneys in the area. Therefore, the thinktank claimed that this laboratory is operational and Plutonium processing is being carried out there.
In view of the process being carried out in the laboratory, US analysts have predicted that North Korea has once again started developing nuclear weapons. In that case, the United States may take action to impose harsh sanctions against North Korea. Last month, a US news channel had reported that North Korea had made major changes to the nuclear facility. The US news channel had claimed that North Korea closed the Yongdoktong base for secretly storing its nuclear weapons.
Last week, North Korea tested four missiles. These included short-range as well as ballistic missiles. It is being said that the Kim Jong Un regime, in North Korea is issuing a warning to the United States and South Korea with these missile tests. North Korea carried out these missile tests in retaliation to the joint war exercises between the United States and South Korea. Kim Yo Jong, sister of the North Korean dictator, accused that the US-South Korea military alliance is only for North Korea and also criticised that South Korean President Moon Je-In is a pet parrot of the United States.
Meanwhile, South Korean Foreign Minister will be visiting China to discuss the tension created with the North Korean tests. Whereas, a meeting of the National Security Advisors of the United States, Japan and South Korea will be held on Friday. Peace and stability of the Korean sector will be discussed in this meeting too.
