After UNSC ( United Nation Security Council ) condemned North Korea’s long range missile or satellite test, North Korea retorted by saying that “it was no longer bound by an international nuclear disarmament deal and would re-start its plant that makes arms-grade plutonium”.

It further says that “the six-country nuclear talks have become useless, and it will no longer be bound by any agreement being made at the six-party talks”.

Here is the complete news :

SEOUL, April 14 (Reuters) – North Korea said on Tuesday it was no longer bound by an international nuclear disarmament deal and would re-start its plant that makes arms-grade plutonium after the U.N. chastised it for launching a long-range rocket.
The U.N. Security Council on Monday unanimously condemned North Korea’s long-range rocket launch nearly two weeks ago as contravening a U.N. ban, and demanded enforcement of existing sanctions against Pyongyang. Source.

If North Korea actually restarts its nuclear plants, reactions from South Korea, Japan and USA would be interesting to observe. Japan has the highest danger if North Korea stockpiles nuclear weapons. China sharing border and being the only true friend of North Korea, may find itself in tight spot. But with Chinese growing economic and military power, not many countries would like to give knee-jerk reactions.

But the events would be interesting to observe.

As per report and as per schedule previously announced by North Korea, it has tested its new rocket on 5th April 2009.

SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea defied the United States, China and a series of United Nations resolutions by launching a rocket on Sunday that the country said was designed to propel a satellite into space, but that much of the world viewed as an effort to prove it is edging toward the capability to shoot a nuclear warhead on a longer-range missile.

Many countries have reacted on their known lines, USA condemns it and asks for strict action or punishment against North Korea, while China and Russia are opposing USA.

But, this recent incident of missile testing must have alerted USA as it has a dangerous country nearby who can launch missile attack on it. While many other countries like Russia or China has capability to launch missile attack on USA, but USA may worry more about North Korea, as it can actually do such an act without any real provocation by USA. Incidentally, North Korea has maintained that this was a test for satellite launch while other countries insisted it to be a missile test. But it means the same. Both can be used to deliver nuclear weapons. So, nomenclature does not change nothing on the ground, except may be in UNSC where people play with words.
North Korea and USA stand-off will be interesting to keep an eye and it has a potential to effect global equation.
