SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea has enough plutonium and uranium to produce at least a double-digit number of nuclear weapons, a South Korean lawmaker said on Thursday, citing the country's spy agency.
The agency also sees the prospect of North Korea potentially carrying out a seventh nuclear test after the U.S. presidential election on November 5, Lee Seong-kweun, who sits on the parliamentary intelligence committee, said.
