PhotoSEOUL, South Korea — President Park Geun-hye of South Korea warned on Monday that there would be more provocations from North Korea after the North’s fifth nuclear test last week, adding that they could raise the danger of war on the Korean Peninsula. China and Russia and opposition parties in South Korea called for talks with North Korea, insisting that sanctions alone could not end its nuclear ambitions. The opposition leaders joined Ms. Park in condemning the North Korean nuclear test, but they accused her of using the North Korean threat to suppress dissent at home. They said the move would only further antagonize North Korea and alienate China. The United States says the system is intended to shield South Korea and American military bases there from North Korean missiles.
