South Korea says North preparing for nuclear test

North Korea is preparing to launch a rocket for testing, going against United Nations sanctions forbidding Pyongyang from utilizing ballistic missile technology, Voice of America reported. The move has been condemned by the United States, South Korea, the European Union, and Japan, Voice of America reported.

Right on the heels of these rocket reports comes news from South Korea that North Korea is also preparing for another clandestine nuclear test, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

Satellite images showing new underground tunnel North Korea is digging at one of its nuclear testing sites seem to confirm these allegations, much to the unrest of the international community, the Associated Press reported.
