In a striking development involving the rapidly changing North Korean geopolitical situation, moments ago Voice of America reporter Steve Herman stated that according to US government and other sources, North Korea has “apparently placed a nuclear device in a tunnel and it could be detonated Saturday AM Korea time.”
He then quotes an NSA official who had no comment at this time, but said “we will be watching closely.”
Herman notes that this could be North Korea’s 6th nuclear test, following previous tests in 2006, 2009, 2013 and twice in 2016.
