NORTH Korea has told other nations that it will be unable to guarantee diplomats' safety in the North's capital beginning Wednesday.
A South Korean national security official said yesterday that North Korea may be setting the stage for a missile test or another provocative act.
Citing North Korea's suggestion that diplomats leave the country, South Korean President Park Geun-hye's national security director said the North may be planning a missile launch or another provocation around Wednesday, according to presidential spokeswoman Kim Haing.
In Washington, an adviser to President Barack Obama said "we wouldn't be surprised if they did a test. They've done that in the past."
Aide Dan Pfeiffer told US network ABC's This Week that "the key here is for the North Koreans to stop their actions, start meeting their international obligations, and put themselves in a position where they can achieve what is their stated goal, which is economic development, which will only happen if they rejoin the international community.'"
He told Fox News Sunday that "the onus is on the North Koreans to do the right thing here," adding that "they are the source of the problem and the only way to solve this is for them to take a step back."
If they don't, there will be consequences, Mr Pfeiffer said. "They will be able to further isolate themselves in the world, they will continue to further hurt themselves. The North Korean people are starving because of actions like the ones North Koreans are taking right now."
US Senator Lindsey Graham said he could see a "major war happening'' if North Korea overplays its hand. If that occurs, Mr Graham told NBC's Meet the Press, the North would lose and South Korea would win, with the help of the United States.
US General James Thurman, the commander of the 28,000 American troops in South Korea, will stay in Seoul as "a prudent measure'" rather than travel to Washington to appear this coming week before congressional committees, Army Colonel Amy Hannah said in an email to The Associated Press.
General Thurman has asked the Senate Armed Services Committee, the House Armed Services Committee, and the House Appropriations subcommittee on defence to excuse his absence until he can testify at a later date.

The new leader is chewing more than he can handle.
He is trying to show his people how he is a "Great" Leader.
