New satellite photos have showed North Korea’s nuclear base prepared and ready for a new test, something that would add to the rising tension in the peninsula, a monitoring group said on Thursday….reports India Daily Newsdesk.
No changes were observed in the spoil pile, so the excavation process might already be completed at the base located in Kilju county.
Experts have warned of continued activity in Punggye-ri for weeks and fear North Korea may soon carry out its sixth nuclear test, especially as important events are approaching with the country celebrating the fifth anniversary of leader Kim Jong-un’s transition to power.
In addition, the country will commemorate the 105th anniversary of the birth of its founder, Kim Il-sung, on Saturday and the 85th anniversary of the founding of the Korean People’s Army on April 25.
These celebrations coincide with increased tension in the peninsula after the US responded to the latest North Korean missile launch by sending a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier towards the peninsula.
