SEOUL (Reuters) -North Korea’s Kim Jong Un could conduct a nuclear test at the country’s Punggye-ri nuclear test facility in a short time if he decided to, the Yonhap News Agency reported on Wednesday, citing South Korea’s Defense Intelligence Agency.

The agency also said that North Korea was showing signs of preparing for additional spy satellite launches with Russian technical support in order to secure reconnaissance satellites with a higher resolution than existing ones, Yonhap reported.

The Defense Intelligence Agency could not be immediately reached for comment.
