| Japan government sources said to confirm second tremor early Wednesday TOKYO - North Korea appears to have conducted another nuclear test, Japanese national broadcaster NHK said on Wednesday. Japanese government sources had information that there was a tremor in North Korea this morning and they were checking on the possibility of a nuclear test, NHK said. Defying warnings from its neighbors, the United States and the U.N. Security Council, North Korea announced on Monday that it had conducted its first-ever nuclear test. Pyongyang had earlier said a U.S. "threat of nuclear war and sanctions" had forced its hand. Meanwhile, a South Korean official said seismic monitors did not detect any tremors that could indicate a possible second nuclear test. |
