SEOUL: North Korea appears to be expanding work at its nuclear test site to include a second tunnel, a US-based think tank said on Thursday , as South Korean and US officials say North Korea might conduct a nuclear test any day.

The two tunnels were never previously used for nuclear tests and their entrances were demolished in 2018, when North Korea declared a self-imposed moratorium on testing nuclear weapons and its intercontinental ballistic missiles . South Korea's defence ministry spokesman, when asked about the report, said it was closely monitoring developments on North Korea's nuclear activity together with US intelligence authorities but declined to make any further comment.
