Soviet SergeyRussian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov today said that the United States would not carry out a strike on North Korea because it knows Pyongyang has nuclear bombs. Lavrov said in an interview with Russia’s NTV television aired today that the Americans won’t carry out a strike on North Korea because it is not that they suspect, they know for sure that it has nuclear bombs.

North Korea this month carried out an underground test on a hydrogen bomb estimated to be 16 times the size of the US bomb that destroyed Hiroshima in 1945. It was its sixth and largest nuclear test. Lavrov said the crisis can only be resolved with a softer approach. Lavrov at the United Nations on Friday described the rhetoric between leaders of the United States and North Korea as a kindergarden fight between children and urged calm.
