Report: North Korea Preparing for Nuclear Test

North Korea, which claims to have several nuclear weapons, is preparing a "nuclear test," according to a new report from South Korea.  This raises concern in both the South and the United States, as fear of war rise once again.

In November of 2010, the Korean peninsula seemed on the brink of war, as the North illegally shelled a South Korean island.  The South responded by playing war games; in response, North Korea threatened nuclear retaliation.  War was avoided when the North backed down its rhetoric.

This new report may be an indication that tensions will rise once again.

"South Korean and U.S. intelligence authorities have spotted North Korea building several other underground mines at Punggye-ri where it had run two nuclear tests," the unidentified source was quoted as saying. 

"It is judged to be clear evidence of preparing for a third nuclear test." 

Military talks broke down between the two sides this month, dealing a setback to the resumption of six-party aid-for-disarmament negotiations, which North Korea walked out of over two years ago.
