North Korea has
threatened to conduct a nuclear test in response to a United Nations
move towards a probe into the country's human rights violations.
Its foreign ministry on Thursday accused the United States of orchestrating a recent UN resolution calling for the investigation.
North Korea previously conducted nuclear tests in 2006, 2009 and 2013.
Its threat comes as new satellite images emerge indicating fresh activity at a North Korean nuclear facility.
A UN human rights committee on Tuesday passed a resolution calling on the Security Council to refer North Korea to the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes against humanity.
