N. Korea Could be Preparing for Follow-up Rocket Launch

A center supporting North Korea’s peace, human rights and refugees reported that Pyongyang is preparing for a follow-up rocket launch to its recently failed long-range rocket launch.

Good Friends quoted an official of North Korea’s Workers’ Party that technicians who participated in the first rocket launch will fire another rocket from the Dongchangri launch site, adding that there will be no nuclear tests before the second rocket launch.

The Workers’ Party of Korea reportedly said that Pyongyang will talk with Washington after succeeding in its rocket launch, and that if the North’s relations with the U.S. improve to the extent that it can receive economic support, it could stop its nuclear test activities.

A high-ranking South Korean government official said that no specific moves signaling the follow-up launch have been detected yet.
