A North Korean flag flies on a mast at the Permanent Mission of North Korea in Geneva October 2, 2014. Two months ago, U.S.-based 38 North, a North Korea monitoring project, said satellite images showed a high level of activity at North Korea's nuclear test site, called Punggye-ri. Speculation has intensified that North Korea may conduct a fifth nuclear test after the United States blacklisted its leader, Kim Jong Un, on July 6 for human rights abuses. North Korea conducted its fourth nuclear test in January, resulting in tough new U.N. sanctions. North Korea has been under U.N. Security Council sanctions since it first tested an atomic device in 2006.
