SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China has increased radiation monitoring in its northeast following North Korea's nuclear test this week and found no immediate abnormalities, the Environment Ministry said on Thursday.
North Korea conducted its third nuclear test on Tuesday in defiance of U.N. resolutions, drawing condemnation from around the world, including from China which for years has been the North's only major ally.
China would release radiation data twice a day from the northeastern provinces of Jilin and Liaoning, which border North Korea, the ministry said.
