The United States is aware of reports that North Korea is ready to conduct a nuclear test and deems it a violation of international law, State Department deputy spokeswoman Jalina Porter said on Friday.

On Tuesday, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said his country will continue to boost its nuclear potential.
