SEOUL, May 2 (Xinhua) -- South Korea's military on Monday expected the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) to conduct another nuclear test in and around the country's ruling party convention scheduled for Friday.
Defense Ministry spokesman Moon Sang-Kyun told a press briefing that the DPRK will likely carry out additional nuclear test or launch additional missiles such as Musudan "by surprise" before or after the party congress in consideration of the DPRK's actions and will.
Pyongyang announced a plan last week to hold the seventh ruling Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) convention on May 6, the first since 1980.
Moon said the DPRK had launched ballistic missiles since top DPRK leader Kim Jong Un gave orders on March 15 to test a nuclear warhead and ballistic rockets capable of carrying the warhead "in a short time."
