According to South Korean officials
South Korean officials have said there are no indications that the North is about to carry out a nuclear test.
A defence ministry spokesman said while activity had been detected at the Punggye-ri underground test site, it appeared to be routine.
South Korean Unification Minister Ryoo Kihl-jae had earlier said there were indications a test was being prepared.
Meanwhile the North has said it is withdrawing all its workers from the shared Kaesong industrial complex.
