North Korea is said to be making preparations for intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) tests, as well as a launch of a spy satellite, as reported by South Korea’s intelligence service.
In recent months, North Korea has been conducting a series of missile tests.
According to the South Korean National Intelligence Service (NIS), North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is expected to resume weapons testing in response to the upcoming joint military drills between the U.S. and South Korea, as well as the upcoming summit involving the U.S., South Korea, and Japan.
During an intelligence briefing attended by lawmakers, the intelligence agency revealed that it had detected abnormal activity at North Korean facilities. One of these facilities is involved in the production of solid-fueled ICBMs, while another handles liquid-fueled ICBMs.
The NIS also stated that North Korea might attempt to launch a spy satellite in the coming weeks to commemorate the country’s 75th anniversary on September 9th. The country has already been testing engines for this purpose. It should be noted that this would be their second attempt at a spy satellite launch this year, as their first attempt in May ended in failure.
Recently, North Korea has been issuing stronger warnings against the U.S. and South Korea regarding their joint military drills.
In July, North Korea launched its first ICBM in several months, following a previous ICBM test in April that was designed to be more difficult to detect.
