SEOUL, May 11 (UPI) -- South Korea's defense chief said Wednesday his ministry has not detected any signs North Korea is set to conduct a nuclear weapons test.
Defense Minister Yoon Kwang-ung also said South Korea has received no intelligence from the United States about North Korea's alleged preparations for a test.
"So far, there isn't any sign of the North's nuclear test at all," he said in an interview with a group of South Korea college students invited to his office in Seoul.
"When we assume a situation in which an atomic bomb is exploded on the Korean Peninsula, South and North Korea will return to their miserable past," he said.
Yoon, who has recently visited China and Russia, also said he was told by those nations North Korea would return to the six-party talks if the regime's survival is guaranteed.
