Bomb from this country in North East (4)
I believe the answer is:
nuke
'bomb' is the definition.
(nuking is a kind of bombing)
'this country in north east' is the wordplay.
'this country' becomes 'uk' (from the perspective of a British newspaper).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'north east' becomes 'ne'.
'uk' put inside 'ne' is 'NUKE'.
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for nuke that I've seen before include "Nuclear weapon (sl.)" , "Attack with an atomic weapon" , "Drop huge bomb on" , "Destroy with a very powerful 18" , "Attack with H-bomb (slang abbr.)" .)
