SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea’s Chosun Ilbo newspaper reported Thursday that North Korea may be preparing another nuclear test, citing “brisk” activities at its atomic test site.

The North may have intentionally let those activities be detected by the U.S. and South Korean to force them to soften hardline policies and to wrest concessions and aid, the paper said.

South Korean officials, however, denied that the North was preparing a nuclear test soon, saying personnel and vehicle movements have been continuously detected for more than a year at the site, where the North conducted two bomb tests in recent years.
