The Czech secret service disrupted three attempts last year by North Korea to purchase equipment needed for nuclear weapons production, Czech media reported.
"Last year our service halted three export deals headed for North Korea, in particular special machine tools, their components and spare parts," a secret service spokesman, Jan Subrt, told the CTK news agency.
North Korea is said to have been looking to buy special machine tools that would enable it to produce small nuclear weapons.
Pyongyang conducted its first nuclear test last month.
