A senior South Korean official said on Oct. 26 that an agreement was reached with allies Japan and the United States to mount an “unparalleled” response if North Korea conducts a seventh test of a nuclear weapon.

The warning to North Korea was issued by South Korean First Vice Foreign Minister Cho Hyun-dong, who made the remarks at a joint press conference alongside Japanese Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Takeo Mori and U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman in Tokyo.
