According to an official concerned, the Pyongyang Wheat Flour Processing Factory overfulfilled its daily quota on February 12 and 13 at 150 percent, encouraged by the news of the test.

Most of the workshops at the factory, including the confectionary workshop, ensure their operation at full capacity, topping increased targets on a daily basis.

Ryo Song Hui, head of a work team, told KCNA:

"I felt a thrill of joy when hearing the news about the successful 3rd underground nuclear test. It dealt a telling blow to the U.S. crying for sanctions and pressure against the DPRK over its peaceful satellite launch."

A worker, Kim Yun Hui, said:

"The news has greatly encouraged me and my fellow workers.

Now we are in high spirits to hit the daily quota at 200 percent."
