North Korea preparing for an all out war: Satellite images from nuclear test site records intense activity
Monday 27th March, 2017 | WASHINGTON, U.S. - Fresh images from North Korea’s nuclear test sites have revealed that the reclusive nation is preparing to launch more nuclear missiles.

Satellite imagery captured by 38 North, a blog run by the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University, said that the worrying new images from space show intense activity at the country’s Punggye-ri nuclear test site. The photos showed that a batch of four-five vehicles were at the entrance to the North Portal of the site. The increased activity has further shored up speculations that the country might be preparing to launch an intercontinental ballistic missile, as it had announced earlier this year. The intercontinental ballistic missile is capable of travelling 10,000 kms and could strike the U.S. - a threat that the country has made against America several times already. Further, the think tank revealed that a pile of construction material was detected in a nearby storage lot. The group also explained that even though the piles looked apparently undisturbed compared to the previous images - if it includes sand and aggregate, it could be mixed with concrete and then used to plug the tunnel to prevent a nuclear explosion from escaping into the atmosphere.

Analysts Joseph Bermudez Jr. and Jack Liu said in the report, “If these vehicles are related to test preparations, they could be involved in the installation of instrumentation or even a nuclear device. However, the evidence is not definitive, therefore they may be there for other purposes as well.” Reports had recently specified that North Korea might be preparing for it sixth nuclear experiment, to coincide with its upcoming major national holidays, such as the April 15 birthday of the country’s late founding father Kim Il-sung and the April 25 anniversary of the establishment of the Korean People’s Army. Over the last few weeks, satellite imagery has pointed to extensive activities at the Punggye site, including vehicles, personnel and equipment, as well as two tunnel entrances being dug out. The U.S. meanwhile is also maintaining the presence of WC-135 aircraft around the peninsula, tasked with air sampling in case of an underground test.

Fatboy gives general piggyback ride

According to officials in Seoul and Washington, preparations in North Korea appear to be completed and the explosion may take place at any time. The South Korean military said that it has yet to discover signs that fission devices, monitoring equipment or other critical components have been installed. Since earlier this month, South Korea and the U.S. have been staging annual joint drills involving top U.S. strategic assets such as F-35B stealth fighters, B-1B nuclear bomber, nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and nuclear-powered submarine, while applying contingency scenarios for preemptive strikes and a removal of the North Korean leadership. On Sunday, the North Korean military’s general staff issued a statement via state media threatening to conduct its “own version of special operations and preemptive attacks to crush” the joint exercises without any warning.

Satellites, that for weeks now have observed extensive activity on the surface, including vehicles, personnel and equipment, as well as two tunnel entrances being dug out - show that activity has now stopped. This, the report pointed was “a similar change in the pattern also observed before previous tests, indicating all final preparations were now complete.” Late last week, the South Korean government said in a statement on Friday that a test can happen as soon as North Korean leader Kim Jong-un orders it. Lee Duk-haeng, spokesman for South Korea’s the Ministry of Unification, said, “It is assessed that North Korea is ready to carry out a nuclear test anytime if its leadership decides to do so. South Korean and U.S. intelligence authorities evaluate that North Korea is ready to carry out a nuclear test anytime on the leadership’s decision.” U.S. officials have said that North Korea also continues to move equipment and personnel that could be used to launch ballistic missiles.
