JAPAN is braced for the possibility of a North Korean nuclear test this weekend.
"We discussed the possibility that the test would occur this weekend," Shotaro Yachi, the Foreign Ministry's top bureaucrat, said yesterday after talks with US Deputy National Security Adviser Jack Crouch.

Japan, the US, China and South Korea have been engaged in frantic diplomatic efforts to prevent North Korea's "nuclear breakout" since the Foreign Ministry in Pyongyang announced on Tuesday it would conduct a nuclear test, though at an unspecified time.

Mr Yachi's was the first official response to speculation that the North Koreans could stage their first nuclear explosion tomorrow, to mark the anniversary of dictator Kim Jong-il becoming general secretary of the Korean Workers Party, one of the posts he gradually assumed after the death of his father Kim Il-sung in 1994.
