North Korea said Wednesday a second nuclear test was ¡°natural¡± and should come as no surprise.
The North Korean Foreign Ministry¡¯s U.S. chief Li Gun made the remarks in an interview with ABC anchor Diane Sawyer in Pyongyang. ¡°We already announced that we have a nuclear -- nuke last year. But we just simply demonstrated peacefully that we have these nuclear weapons.¡± The interview aired as part of Sawyer¡¯s live report from the North Korean capital on Wednesday afternoon.
Sawyer arrived in Pyongyang on Tuesday as the only Western journalist permitted to enter the reclusive country since the North conducted its first nuclear test on Oct. 9. Sawyer said that her cell phone and other wireless communication devices were seized by North Korean officials, adding she felt tense to be in the North at a critical moment. She will interview several North Korean officials during her one-week visit.
