Conducting Its 3rd Nuclear Test
In 2013, North Korea launched its 3rd nuclear test, supposedly Kim Jong-un’s first nuclear test as leader of North Korea. It was said that he did it in defiance of the Chinese, who had warned the young leader, who had only been in power for 2 years, that he might not be able to handle the global impact of his actions. Of course, he didn’t listen and would go on to test more.
