AFP - North Korea has completed reprocessing spent fuel rods to make more fuel for nuclear weapons, official media said Tuesday.

The country had "successfully completed reprocessing spent fuel rods by the end of August" at its Yongbyon complex, the North's Korean Central News Agency said.

In early September the North had said the plutonium extracted from the reprocessing "is being weaponised."
