North Korea preparing for next nuclear test, Seoul says

 North Korea is putting the finishing touches on its next nuclear test and could likely engage in yet another missile provocation, South Korea's spy agency says.


"With regards to the Nos. 2 and 3 shafts at North Korea's Punggye-ri nuclear site, [activity indicates] preparations have been completed for a nuclear test," Seoul's national intelligence service said, according to Kim Byung-ki of the ruling Minjoo Party of Korea following a parliamentary hearing on Monday.

Kim also said there is a high likelihood the projectiles launched on Saturday are short-range missiles but investigation is ongoing, News 1 reported.
