All you need to know about this news was buried in the final paragraphs of a Reuters report:
North Korea gave no time-frame for the coming test and often employs harsh rhetoric in response to U.N. and U.S. actions.[They were just sanctioned].
Its long-range rockets are not seen as capable of reaching the United States mainland and it is not believed to have the technology to mount a nuclear warhead on a long-range missile.
I am guessing they must have had a bad harvest and are need of food stores. The nuclear club threatens as the preliminary step in the US aid application process.
