Information from spy satellites and radio waves has shown North Korea beefing up troops and equipment around missile launch bases, the daily Yomiuri Shimbun reported, citing unidentified government sources. In Seoul, Rhee Bong-jo, the deputy unification minister, said South Korea recently detected activity ``connected to North Korean missiles.'' South Korea believes ``there is a high possibility that these were part of the annual, routine activities of North Korean missile units,'' Rhee said Thursday. ``But since we cannot rule out a possibility of a missile launch, we are continuously monitoring and trying to confirm the situation.'' |
