South Korean and Japanese military chiefs on Wednesday affirmed close bilateral cooperation against North Korea in phone talks.

South Korea's Defense Minister Song Young-moo and his counterpart Itsunori Onodera shared the view that the North's sixth nuclear test is a clear violation of UN Security Council resolutions and a grave challenge to the international community, according to Song's ministry.
