Pyongyang rocket launch site almost ready: SK

SEOUL (AA): South Korean authorities on Friday claimed Pyongyang almost restored one of its key long-range rocket launch sites on its western coast, local media reported.
According to Yonhap news agency, South Korea’s National Intelligence Service (NIS) told the country’s parliament that Pyongyang began work on the launch pad in February on its west coast before the U.S. and North Korea held a summit in Hanoi.
Reports had emerged early this month that Pyongyang was restoring the rocket launch site.
“The North started the reassembly work before the Hanoi summit. We cannot verify what that means,” the NIS said.
Washington based think-tank Beyond Parallel claimed that its commercial satellite imagery acquired on March 2, 2019 showed that North Korea was “pursuing a rapid rebuilding” of the long-range rocket site at Sohae.
