North Korea: No plan for nuclear test 'at present'
North Korea says it has no plans to conduct a third nuclear test "at present", but has hit out at what it says is provocation from South Korea.
Seoul was trying to "rattle the nerves of the DPRK in a bid to cause it to conduct a nuclear test" a foreign ministry spokesman said.
The remarks were carried by Pyongyang's official news agency, KCNA.
They come weeks after satellite images suggested a "major upgrade" under way at North Korea's rocket launch site.
