North Korea to Boost Nuclear Power After New UN Sanctions

North Korea vowed to boost its nuclear capability after the United Nations Security Council, including its ally China, imposed new sanctions against the totalitarian state for last month’s rocket launch.

“Denuclearization of the Korean peninsula is impossible,” North Korea’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency. The North “will take physical counteraction to bolster the military capabilities for self defense including the nuclear deterrence.”
