The report about the nuclear test "evokes concern," but "before reaching any final conclusions it must be carefully checked," the ministry's press department was quoted as saying.

Earlier on Monday, the DPRK said it had successfully conducted an underground nuclear test.

South Korean officials said an "artificial earthquake" was detected near the northeastern town of Kilju, about 10 km away from the site where the DPRK staged its first nuclear test in October 2006.
