SEOUL - It is premature to say whether recent activity at some of North Korea’s rocket facilities involved preparation for a missile launch, South Korea’s defence minister told a parliamentary hearing on Monday.
“It’s hasty to call it missile-related activity,” Defence Minister Jeong Kyeong-doo told a parliamentary defence committee. “But given North Korea’s continued work, thorough analysis is needed to find out its exact intentions,” Cho said. The summit broke down over differences about U.S. demands for North Korea to denuclearize and North Korea’s demand for substantial relief from international sanctions, imposed on the country because of its nuclear and missile tests.
North Korea has used Sohae to launch satellites into space since 2011, and the United States says its work there has helped develop missile technology.
