TOKYO, June 13 (Itar-Tass) – Pyongyang has achieved progress in working out the uranium enrichment technology and has already passed over to experiments, says a statement of the North Korean foreign ministry, which was circulated by the Korean Central News Agency of DPRK on Saturday.
“Progress has been achieved in the working out of the uranium enrichment technology, and now we are on the stage of experiments,” the statement said. It was circulated several hours after the adoption by the U.N. Security Council of a resolution denouncing the nuclear test in DPRK and imposing a number of additional sanctions on it. These include the inspection of DPRK ships suspected of the transportation of materials connected with the creation of mass destruction weapons.
Pyongyang reported as well the resumption of the uranium enrichment programme and threatened to take armed actions, if the United States and its allies try to impose a blockade on North Korea.
The DPRK foreign ministry stressed that DPRK was going to use for military purposes all the plutonium obtained from fuel rods, which are taken out of the nuclear reactor in Yongbyon. By today DPRK has already processed about one third of the rods, the Korean Central News Agency reports.
