North Korea honours nuclear developers in song
- 11 years ago
After launching its third successful nuclear test, North Korea honours nuclear developers in a musical tribute.
The song, "At a burst", was shown by state KRT broadcaster as the country's scientists, technicians and officials visited Pyongyang Wednesday at the invitation of leader Kim Jong-un.
On February 12, the state said it had successfully tested a miniaturised nuclear device, but U.S. and allied intelligence have yet to find particle traces to confirm the nature of the explosive.
State TV on Thursday showed Kim Jong-un visiting a military unit as tensions escalate with South Korea.
Protesters in South Korea stabbed and burned the young dictator's image as they condemned the test.

At a UN conference in Geneva earlier this week, North Korea warned it could take additional steps, threatening the South with "final destruction" .
