In a interview posted moments ago by Sky News, in response to a question “is a sixth nuclear test now imminent”, the answer of the North Korean Ambassador to the UK, Choe Il was “In regards to the sixth nuclear test, I do not know the scheduled time for it, as I am here in the UK, not in my home country. However, I can say that the nuclear test will be conducted at the place and time as decided by our supreme leader, Kim Jong-Un.”
Asked if he is afraid of a possible US military response, the ambassador answers that “we are developing our nuclear strength to respond to that kind of attack by the US. If the US attacks us, our military and people are fully ready to respond to any kind of attack. I do not think the US are considering a military attack against us.”
Asked what would North Korea’s response be to a preemptive strike, he answer that: “The US cannot attack us first. If the US moves an inch, then we are ready to turn to ashes any available strategic assets of the US.”
In reaction to his comments, stocks, and most FX pairs, have dropped to session lows.
