South Korea’s spy service has told lawmakers that North Korea is preparing for a new round of provocative weapons tests as it ramps up illicit activities to support its fragile economy.
FILE - This photo provided by South Korea's Defense Ministry shows an object salvaged by South Korea's military that is presumed to be part of the North Korean space-launch vehicle that crashed into sea following a launch failure, in West Sea, South Korea, on June 15, 2023.
Outside experts believe North Korea’s current food shortages and economic troubles are the worst since leader Kim Jong Un took power in late 2011. But they say there are no signs of an imminent famine or major public unrest that could threaten Kim’s grip on his 26 million people. It estimated that North Korea has stolen more than $1.5 billion in virtual assets since 2015, Yoo said.
The NIS said it has detected unusually heavy activities at a North Korean facility that produces solid-fueled intercontinental ballistic missiles and at another site related to liquid-fueled ICBMs, Yoo said in a televised briefing. Kim has vowed to develop a number of high-tech weapons systems including a military reconnaissance satellite in response to what North Korea calls U.S. military threats.
