China has warned that conflict could break out between North Korea and the US 'at any moment', according to the BBC. China has reportedly sent an endless line of tanks carrying missiles to the border.

It's reported that North Korea is gearing up to a sixth nuclear test since 2006 and the US has expressed major concerns.

The BBC reports that Chinese Foreign Minister, Wang Yi, said: "Lately, tensions have risen between on the one hand the United States and the Republic of Korea [South Korea] and on the other, the DPRK [North Korea] and one has the feeling that a conflict could break out at any moment.

"I think that all relevant parties should be highly vigilant with regards to this situation."

"We call on all parties to refrain from provoking and threatening each other, whether in words or actions, and not let the situation get to an irreversible and unmanageable stage," he added.

The nuclear test is reported to honour the 105th anniversary of the birth of North Korea's founding father, Kim Il-sung.

Satellite images suggest the test is imminent and the country could be less than two years away from being able to strike the US with an intercontinental missile.

The West is concerned about the hermit state's increased interest in military strength and nuclear weapons. The US, under President Donald Trump, has been particularly vocal about North Korea in recent days.

Trump tweeted: "I have great confidence that China will properly deal with North Korea. If they are unable to do so, the U.S., with its allies, will! U.S.A."

Russian newspaper Pravada Report claims as many as 600,000 residents have been evacuated from the capital Pyongyang with alarms ringing out across the city.
