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.
