The Pentagon expressed concern on Tuesday about a U.N. report indicating possible reprocessing of nuclear fuel for bombs by North Korea, and said such activity could raise tensions with Pyongyang. Rear Admiral Michael Studeman, head of intelligence for the U.S. Indo-Pacific command, said North Korean activity highlighted this week by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) could be intended to get the attention of the Biden administration and as a bargaining chip to press for sanctions relief. The administration is currently reviewing U.S.-North Korea policy.

J. Rich) approached the woman, she suddenly rolled over the barrier wall at the top of the parking structure,” the police department wrote. "It appears that she was trying to avoid contact with the police and had severely misjudged the danger she was putting herself in.“Sgt. Rich recognized that the woman was holding her body weight up with only her hands and was likely to fall more than 40 feet to the ground. As Sgt. Rich grabbed the woman by the arms, she could no longer maintain her grip. Shell Island Security Guard B. Price immediately went to assist Sgt. Rich by taking one of the woman’s arms. Officer J. Deal (WBPD) arrived seconds later to help. The three together brought the woman back over the ledge to safety.” Credit: Wrightsville Beach Police Department via Storyful
