North Korea nuclear test under preparation, Seoul claims
North Korea appears to be preparing for a third nuclear test, South Korean intelligence has claimed, further raising tensions ahead of Pyongyang's long-range rocket launch.
North Korea has already readied the 30-metre high Unha-3 rocket for what they describe as the peaceful launch of an observation satellite. The launch could take place from a base in the north-west of the country as soon as Thursday.
The US, Japan, Britain and other governments have urged Pyongyang to cancel the launch, saying it would violate UN resolutions against ballistic missile activity because the launch technology is near-identical.
