SEOUL - Satellite imagery captured before and after North Korea conducted what it called a “very important” test at its missile launch site suggested it had tested a rocket engine, experts said on Monday.
State news agency KCNA said on Sunday the North had carried out the test at its Sohae satellite launching station, a rocket-testing ground that U.S. and South Korean officials once said Pyongyang had promised to shut down. “Vehicles and objects appear on Dec. 7 to conduct the test,” said Lewis, the director of the East Asia Nonproliferation Program at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in California.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has warned he may take a “new path” if the United States fails to address his demands. “They may well have tried to see the thrust and duration of a solid-propellant rocket engine for ICBMs,” a diplomatic source in Seoul told Reuters. North Korea appears to have used Soviet-era liquid propellants in all its ICBM or satellite launches in recent years, while developing solid fuel missiles to be fired from a submarine, officials and analysts say.
