NKorea may have conducted another nuke test

TOKYO, Oct 11: North Korea appears to have conducted another nuclear test, Japanese national broadcaster NHK said today.

Japanese government sources had information that there was a tremor in North Korea this morning and they were checking on the possibility of a nuclear test, NHK said.

Defying warnings from its neighbours, the United States and the UN Security Council, North Korea announced on Monday that it had conducted its first-ever nuclear test. Pyongyang had earlier said a US ''threat of nuclear war and sanctions'' had forced its hand.
