Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se convened an emergency meeting Wednesday amid reports of an earthquake in North Korea seen as a possible nuclear test.
China's earthquake center said the 4.9-magnitude earthquake is suspected to have been an explosion, raising the possibility the North conducted its fourth nuclear test.
"The Foreign Ministry is currently holding a meeting presided over by the minister to immediately determine the situation following the reports," a ministry official said. (Yonhap)
