South Korean President Park Geun-hye on Thursday warned against North Korea's additional nuclear test, stressing that South Korea would never condone any provocative acts that would destabilize regional security.
During a Cabinet meeting, she ordered the government to maintain robust preparedness to ensure national security. Her warning came amid signs of the communist regime preparing for yet another nuclear test at its northeastern Punggye-ri site, according to (Yonhap) news agency.
"Ahead of its seventh party congress, Pyongyang has been preparing for an additional nuclear test and it is now in a situation where it can conduct a test anytime it decides to do so," she told a gathering of key government officials.
"Should it push ahead with another nuclear test, this would be very serious provocative behavior that would shake the security order of Northeast Asia and we can never condone it," she added.
