WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 (Yonhap) -- North Korea's threat to test a nuclear weapon over the Pacific Ocean should be taken "literally," a senior North Korean official has said.
The threat came last month when U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un engaged in a war of words over Pyongyang's nuclear and ballistic missile tests.
Speaking in New York during the U.N. General Assembly, North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong-ho had warned of a powerful hydrogen bomb test over the Pacific.
