There is a possibility that North Korea will continue to carry out additional large-scale provocations on the 29th, marking the 5th anniversary of the declaration of nuclear power.
As it has recently been widely publicized for successfully test-launching a new intercontinental ballistic missile, the Hwasong-17, there are also comments that it could go ahead with nuclear tests, the next step.

On November 29, 2017, North Korea declared the completion of its nuclear force, claiming that it had successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), the Hwasong-15.
[조선중앙TV / 2017년 11월 29일) : (화성 15형은) 우리가 목표한 로켓 무기체계 개발의 완결단계에 도달한 가장 위력한 대륙간탄도로켓이다.]
After five years, this year, North Korea launched a new ICBM, the Hwasong-17, several times.
In particular, regarding the launch on the 18th, North Korea revealed the appearance of the Hwasong-17 flying up and the appearance of Kim Jong-un, Chairman of the State Council, leading it on the spot.
Along with this, the daughter and wife Ri Seol-ju, believed to be the second Kim Joo-ae, and her younger sister Kim Yeo-jeong, the vice director, were widely reported and their achievements advertised .
[조선중앙TV/ 지난 19일 : 김정은 동지께서는 시험발사 성과에 격려하시면서 우리의 핵 무력이 그 어떤 핵 위협도 억제할 수 있는 신뢰할 만한 또 다른 최강의 능력을 확보한 데 대하여 재삼 확인하게 되었다고 말씀하셨습니다.]
Later, North Korea declared a very strong response to the United Nations, which raised issues with the ICBM launch, by Vice Minister Kim Yeo-jung, and continued to criticize the South Korean government.
Accordingly, on the 29th, the fifth anniversary of the declaration of the completion of nuclear power,
There are comments that the 7th nuclear test may take place, marking the culmination of provocations since the beginning of this year.
[양무진 / 북한대학원대학교 교수 : 김여정이 두 차례 담화를 발표했고 특히 초강경 대응까지 예고했다는 점에서 오는 29일 핵 무력 완성 5주년을 맞아 7차 핵실험 가능성도 배제할 수 없다고 생각합니다.]
In particular, as China and Russia turn a blind eye to North Korea’s provocation, there is almost no way to prevent further nuclear tests.
In addition, concerns about additional nuclear tests arise, with North Korea only sending criticism of the decision of the three countries to review independent sanctions against North Korea at the level of each country.
