North Korea Says They Will No Longer Abide By Their Moratorium on Testing

I guess we will see if this declaration is a prelude to any kind of provocation that the North Koreans may be thinking of in the near term:

North Korea declared Tuesday on the global stage that it will no longer adhere to its moratorium on nuclear and missile tests, citing “brutal and inhumane” sanctions led by the United States on its regime.

“We found no reason to be unilaterally bound any longer by the commitment that the other party fails to honour,” Ju Yong-chol, a counsellor at North Korea’s mission to the United Nations in Geneva, reportedly said during the U.N.-backed Conference on Disarmament. 

He accused Washington of applying “the most brutal and inhumane sanctions” against Pyongyang.

IIRC, they’re going to need a new mountain to blow up.
