The Chosun Ilbo reports that a US spy satellite is detecting “brisk” movement at the North Hamgyong sites where previous nuclear tests have been executed. It is suggested that it will still take another three months before the area would be ready for another nuclear test. An anonymous South Korean defence ministry official, however, stated that activity at the site has always been constantly active. A nuclear test now would certainly undermine recent North Korean efforts to restart Six Party Talks aimed at denuclearizing the Korean peninsula.
