NORTH Korea is preparing a third nuclear weapons test, according to South Korean news reports.
The Yonhap news agency quoted an unidentified intelligence source as saying workers had been seen in satellite images digging a tunnel in the northeastern town of Punggye-ri, in addition to existing mines believed to have been used for tests in 2006 and 2009.
"We have confirmed the work is coming to its final stage," the source was quoted as saying. The images showed piles of earth and sand at the entrance of the tunnel, Yonhap said.
