North Korea to recall her workers as 4th nuclear test feared

 North Korea plans to recall 51,000 workers and temporarily shut down its operations at the Kaesong Industrial Park that it runs jointly with South Korean companies just north of the border.

Analysts in South Korea see the moveea as a leap in Pyongyang's determination to make sacrifices amid its increasingly belligerent rhetoric, including indications of a fourth nuclear test.

North Korea has been threatening a nuclear strike against the United States and South Korea for weeks in protest of ongoing joint military drills in the south and the latest U.S.-led U.N. sanctions over its Feb 12 nuclear test.

The South Korean government today mentioned the possibility of a fourth nuclear test coming soon at the Gilju area, northeastern province of Hamkyong. Citing recent activity and movement of soldiers and cargo detected in that area, the Ministry of Defense spokesman Kim Min-Seok confirmed that "North Korea is always ready and prepared to launch another nuclear test" at one of the two underground tunnels.
