SEOUL: North Korea has almost completed rebuilding a long-range rocket site it had promised to close, Seoul lawmakers told reporters Friday after a closed-door meeting with South Korean intelligence officials.
"The North began rebuilding the centre, which was partly dismantled last July, before the North-US summit in February," lawmaker Kim Min-ki told reporters after the closed-door briefing by the National Intlligence Service.North Korea has been banned by the UN Security Council from carrying out space launches, as some of its technology was similar to that used for intercontinental ballistic missiles, or ICBMs.
Experts have warned a launch of any kind would send the stuttering talks on denuclearisation into disarray. The nuclear-armed state is also"operating uranium enrichment facilities" at its Yongbyon nuclear complex, the lawmaker added.
