North Korea unveils nuclear facility for first time... South Korean presidential office says ”all possibilities are in mind”

The South Korean presidential office said it was "closely monitoring" North Korea's first public display of a facility for producing highly enriched uranium (HEU), which is used to make nuclear warheads.
Regarding the disclosure of North Korea's uranium enrichment facility, a senior official from the presidential office said, "The timing of North Korea's nuclear test is subject to change depending on the decision of the North Korean leadership.
"It is difficult to say for sure because there are many factors that influence the North Korean nuclear program," he said. In 2010, North Korea invited nuclear physicist Dr. Siegfried Hecker of the United States to the Yongbyon Nuclear Weapon Center in North Pyongan Province.
Although North Korea has previously shown its uranium enrichment facility in its nuclear facility in Yongbyon, this is the first time it has directly revealed it to the outside world.
With the US presidential election just 50 days away, this is being interpreted as an attempt to raise North Korea's value and emphasize its presence in future negotiations with the US.
The White House plans to respond closely to such North Korean moves. A senior White House official said that North Korea may consider implementing a nuclear test in the run-up to the U.S. presidential election.
Regarding concerns that the possibility of a presidential election becoming more likely, the company said, "It appears that the timing will be decided after taking into consideration various factors, including domestic and international developments such as the U.S. presidential election," and "We will consider all possibilities."
"We are closely monitoring North Korea's intentions for disclosure and are observing and analyzing overall trends in North Korea," he added.
