25.03.2012
North Korea has transported the main body of a long-range rocket to a launch site in the northwestern part of the reclusive state, a South Korean official said Sunday.
“South Korean and US military authorities understand that North Korea has moved the main body of a long-range missile to Dongchang-ri in preparation for launch,” said a South Korean military official according to Yonhap News.
A train moved the main body to the launch facility in Dongchang-ri, Cholsan County, North Pyongan Province, the official said.
The move indicates that Pyongyang is taking further steps to put a satellite into orbit using a long-range missile between April 12 and 16, another South Korean government official said.
