On March 18, President of the Supreme People's Assembly Choe Son-hui stated that while acknowledging external threats from South Korean military exercises in Yeonpyeong Island, there is no reason for Pyongyang not to conduct further missile launches or atomic bomb testing as planned by Kim Jong-un himself. This stance was reiterated on March 17 when officials emphasized the necessity of continuing nuclear tests regardless of diplomatic warnings and sanctions imposed under UN Security Council Resolution No.2385 (March).
