DHAKA: North Korea appears to have reactivated its nuclear capacity again at Yongbyon.

The Yongbyon site processes spent fuel from power stations and has been the source of plutonium for North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, BBC reports on Tuesday (June 7).

The reactor was shut down in 2007 but Pyongyang said last year that it was operational again.

It has since conducted its fourth test of a nuclear weapon. That and its multiple missile tests broke existing international sanctions and provoked further measures from the UN and individual countries.
