NoKo Testing Suitcase Nuke?

Not really convinced, but it is an interesting conversation.

I really like the abbreviation of Nork instead of NoKo. I suppose I'll need to adapt.

ThreatsWatch also has an article on the UNSC sanction proposals.

Effectively pushing Iran to second-tier crisis level, an emergency meeting for the Security Council will take place today to consider measures to be potentially imposed against the already sanctioned regime. Reuters reported a summary of key sanction proposals proffered by the United States to the Security Council as follows:
• Authorize international inspections of all cargo going in and out of North Korea for weapons of mass destruction and other related materials.

• Suspend all activities related to ballistic missile programs.

• A ban on trade in materials with direct or dual use application for weapons of mass destruction.

• A ban on all North Korean financial transactions that support missile activities.

• A ban on all trade in military goods and services.

• A ban on trade in luxury goods.

• A freeze on all assets and transaction associated with weapons of mass destruction.

• A requirement that nations prevent the abuse of international financial systems, a reference to claims that North Korea has counterfeited U.S. dollars.

• A review of North Korea's response within 30 days.
Yeah, that'll hurt them.
