S. Korea denies N. Korea is preparing nuclear test

South Korean officials said Thursday that there have been continual movements of personnel and vehicles at North Korea's main nuclear test site, but ruled out the possibility that the country is preparing its third atomic bomb test anytime soon.

The assessment came shortly after the mass-circulation Chosun Ilbo newspaper reported Thursday that Pyongyang may be preparing another nuclear test, citing 'brisk' activities at its atomic test site in the northeastern county of Kilju. (AP)
