North Korea 'to restart Yongbyon nuclear reactor'

North Korean army officers punch the air as they chant slogans during a rally in Pyongyang, North Korea, 29 March 2013 
North Korea has issued multiple threats and warnings in recent weeks
 
North Korea says it will restart all facilities at its main Yongbyon nuclear complex, including a reactor mothballed in 2007.

In a statement, it said the move would bolster North Korea's nuclear forces "in quality and quantity".
The move is the latest in a series of measures by Pyongyang in the wake of its third nuclear test in February.

It has been angered by the resultant UN sanctions and joint US-South Korea annual military drills.
