NORTH KOREA: More than 100,000 people rallied in the main square of Pyongyang yesterday to hail North Korea's nuclear test, official media said.
"An army-people rally was held at Kim Il-sung Square in Pyongyang on Friday to hail the success of the historic nuclear test. The square was crowded with over hundred thousands of men and officers of the People's Army and citizens of all social standings," the North's KCNA news agency reported.
Prior to the mass rally, North Korea had mentioned the test only a few times in its official media, leading to some speculation that the nuclear explosion might not have been as successful as North Korea's leaders would have liked.
