U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman has said there would be a “forceful response” from the United States if North Korea conducts another nuclear test.
North Korea has not tested a nuclear bomb since 2017 but there has been growing unrest in the region of late.
South Korea and U.S. forces fired eight surface-to-surface missiles early on Monday off South Korea's east coast in response to a barrage of short-range ballistic missiles launched by North Korea on Sunday.
