) .- The Prime Minister of South Korea, Kim Hwang-sik, said today about possible North Korean attack against the severe diplomatic isolation and economic crisis. "North Korea is still showing a responsible attitude," said Kim, who chaired the annual meeting of military commanders of the army, reported South Korean Yonhap news agency.
The Prime Minister said that Pyongyang would return to the path of "military provocation. Therefore, (the army) should be fully prepared," he added. Recent reports indicated that North Korea has completed construction of a facility for launching missiles on its west coast, near the border with China.
The communist government might have in mind to develop tests of ballistic missiles that could reach the U.S. mainland. North Korea detonated a nuclear device in 2006 and 2009, and conducted tests of long-range missiles on three occasions (1998, 2006 and 2009), which was considered a partial success.
In this regard, the South Korean authorities and the United States plan to hold a meeting next month with the intention to prepare a plan of response to potential nuclear threats from Pyongyang, South Korean media reported. South Korea has been the target of two attacks of Pyongyang, the first against a South Korean warship in March last year and the second against a western border island eight months later.
