North Korea plans high-level nuclear test ‘aimed at the U.S.’
(Reuters) - North Korea said on Thursday it would carry out further rocket launches and a nuclear test that would target the United States, dramatically stepping up its threats against a country it called its "sworn enemy".

The announcement by the country's top military body came a day after the U.N. Security Council agreed a U.S.-backed resolution to censure and sanction the country for a rocket launch in December that breached its bans.
North Korea plans a nuclear test plus more long-range rocket launches, aimed at what it calls its "arch-enemy" the United States.
"We do not hide that the various satellites and long-range rockets we will continue to launch, as well as the high-level nuclear test we will proceed with, are aimed at our arch-enemy the United States," the National Defence Commission said.
The mention of the test, which would mark the country's third detonation of a nuclear device, came towards the end of a commission statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.
