WASHINGTON, June 11 (UPI) -- North Korea, despite international condemnation of its nuclear test last month, may be readying another test, a U.S. official told CNN.
The official, who is not authorized to speak on record and asked to remain unidentified, told CNN the United States has received indications of North Korea's nuclear plan which, if it occurs, would be its third test since 2006.
No other details were given, the report said.
A U.N. Security Council draft resolution -- in response to North Korea's May 25 underground nuclear test and its subsequent short-range missile tests and other threats -- has called for additional sanctions against Pyongyang.
The North's actions also go against the six-nation effort aimed at its nuclear disarmament in exchange for massive aid. Those talks are currently stalled over verification issues even as the Communist country threatens to restart its nuclear facilities.
