VOA: US, Asian Allies Warn North Korea Against 5th Nuclear Test

SEOUL—The United States, Japan and South Korea held senior level diplomatic talks Tuesday to discuss joint measures that could be taken if North Korea continues to defy the United Nations Security Council resolution banning its nuclear and ballistic missile development.
