"Primed and ready for a sixth nuclear test", words describing North Korea from an organization that monitors the communist Asian country. Analysts from 38 North had been looking at satellite image. They say the increased activity at a North Korean testing site, like new equipment coming in, and water being pumped into the area, it all suggests that another nuclear test is imminent.

“已经准备好进行第六次核试验”，这是一个监测社会主义国家朝鲜的组织在形容朝鲜时所说。“北纬38度”组织的分析人员一直在研究卫星图像。他们表示，朝鲜一个测试基地近期活动频繁，好像在组装新设备，有水注入该地区，这一切都表明朝鲜即将再次进行核试验。

虽然国际社会认为朝鲜核项目是违法的，但是该项目对朝鲜及其备受争议的领导人金正恩来说，是民族自豪感的来源。对获准进入朝鲜的外国记者来说，见到金正恩这一机会在严密控制之下。
