Sign of North nuclear test preparation: S Korea

Seoul, Oct 17: South Korea is aware of signs that the North might be getting ready for another nuclear test, a government official said today.

''The government is aware of signs related to North Korea's possible second nuclear test. We cannot exclude the possibility of a second test,'' he told Reuters.

But he added there was no firm information on a possible new test.

Earlier, US television networks reported that US spy satellites had detected suspicious vehicle and people activity near the site of North Korea's nuclear test last week that might signal preparations for another test.
