Mark 13:8 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is reporting that North Korea has substantially increased the size of their nuclear facilities.
Yukiya Amano, the head of the IAEA, told a 35-nation board at the United Nations that locations which “house uranium enrichment centrifuges, which could make bomb fuel” are showing activity from recent satellite photographs of the area.
“Since my last report, we have observed renovation and construction activities at various locations… particularly at the Yongbyon nuclear complex,” Amano stated.
Amano said the Yongbyon facility had “doubled in size.” Atomic experts say the plant could produce enough enriched plutonium a year for one nuclear bomb.
“These appear to be broadly consistent with [North Korea’s] statements that it is further developing its nuclear capabilities,” Amano added.
Amano said the IAEA will continue to monitor the nuclear sites using satellite images.
