North Korea's Nuclear Capabilities: Insight from South Korean Spy Agency

North Korea reportedly has enough plutonium and uranium to produce a substantial number of nuclear weapons, according to South Korea's spy agency. Lawmaker Lee Seong-kweun indicated that a potential 7th nuclear test by North Korea is more likely to occur post-U.S. presidential election.

North Korea possesses enough plutonium and uranium to manufacture at least a double-digit number of nuclear weapons, revealed lawmaker Lee Seong-kweun on Thursday, citing intelligence from South Korea's spy agency.

Lee, a member of the parliamentary intelligence committee, also indicated that the South Korean agency forecasts a higher probability of a 7th nuclear test by North Korea occurring after the U.S. presidential election than before.
