The South Korean military has concluded that North Korea carried out its sixth nuclear test on Sunday, ABC news reported.
A seismic tremor detected at 12.36pm, emanating from the Punggye-ri underground nuclear test site in north-western North Korea, set off a scramble to determine whether the North had carried out another test.
The Defence Ministry estimated that the tremor had a magnitude of 5.7, revising an earlier estimate of 5.6. But the US Geological Survey's estimate was much higher, at 6.3.
South Korea has convened a national security council meeting to discuss the crisis.
