South Korean President Park Geun-hye has said that North Korea is readying a new nuclear test despite strict UN sanctions. The announcement follows reports of increased activity at the North's nuclear test site, Deutsche Welle reported on Tuesday.
Following various intelligence reports, South Korean officials warned that North Korea is probably preparing another nuclear test.
"Signs that it is preparing a fifth nuclear test have recently been detected," the South's president Geun-hye Park said during a cabinet meeting.
Although she did not give concrete examples of what points to a possible nuclear test, Park ordered the military to be prepared to deal with provocations from Pyongyang.
