N. Korea shows signs of disassembling rocket: Yonhap
SEOUL, Dec. 11, Kyodo
There are signs that North Korea has begun disassembling part of a rocket it had earlier placed on a launch pad in the country's northwest in preparation for a launch this month, Yonhap News Agency reported Tuesday, citing a senior military source in Seoul.
According to analysis of satellite imagery, scientists and workers have begun taking apart the three-stage rocket at the space center in Tongchang-ri.
"We detected signs of (North Korea) breaking apart the rocket at the Tongchang-ri launch site. It seems that the North is trying to fix technical problems," the source was quoted as saying on condition of anonymity without elaborating.
