TALLINN, April 23 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Friday North Korea should not take provocative actions following allegations it may have sunk a South Korean ship, and should resume talks on ending its nuclear programs.

"We have said time and time again that the North Koreans should not engage in provocative actions and that they should return to six-party talks," she told reporters at a NATO foreign ministers' meeting in Estonia.

"I hope that there is no talk of war, there is no action or miscalculation that could provoke a response that might lead to lead to conflict." (Editing by Kevin Liffey)
