PYONGYANG, North Korea, Nov. 1 (UPI) -- North Koreans, facing threatened sanctions and near universal denunciation, are celebrating last month's test of the country's first nuclear device.
North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-Il, led the rallies throughout the capital, Pyongyang, the London Telegraph said Wednesday.
As the celebrations on the nuclear weapon testing were being conducted, North Korea agreed to return to the "six-party talks" with South Korea, China, the United States, Russia and Japan. The talks focus on North Korea's ending its nuclear program, The Telegraph of London said.
Since the Oct. 9 underground test, North Korea has reportedly increased security along the border with South Korea to prevent intelligence leaks, report said.
The United Nations is debating what types of sanctions to impose, The Telegraph said.
