The Sohae Satellite Launching Station, which is the country’s only space launch facility, has been used in the past for satellite launches.But the facility uses similar technology used in intercontinental ballistic missiles. Researchers at Beyond Parallel have said the renewed activity may suggest North Korea is attempting to hit back after the US rejected its demands at the Hanoi summit.
Beyond Parallel has recently identified 20 undisclosed missile sites in North Korea, according to NBC News.
One of the analysts, Victor Cha, told NBC News: "The activity they are undertaking now is consistent with preparations for a test, though the imagery thus far does not show a missile being moved to the launch pad.
“The activity on the ground shows us that they do have a nuclear intercontinental ballistic missile capability that is not just developmental, but in the prototype phase.
“They've already tested a few of these and it looks like they're preparing the launch pad for another act.”
