North Korea hinted a possibility that it would not carry out the nuclear test, Saturday, saying, “The United States has been speculating the nuclear test, being ignorant of “significant measure.”
The North’s state-run website ‘Uriminjokkiri’ said, “The U.S. has been exaggerating about the possible sanctions based on speculation that we will conduct the third nuclear test.”
Japan’s broadcaster NHK while reporting the comment of the website said the North was attempting to induce the U.S. into the direct negotiation.
Regarding the significant measure, the website said North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s such remark was meant to protect the national interests, not threatening others.
