Japan has detected radio signals suggesting North Korea may be preparing
for another ballistic missile launch, although such signals are not
unusual and satellite images did not show fresh activity, a Japanese
government source said on Tuesday.
After firing missiles at a pace of
about two or three month since April, North Korean missile launches
paused in September, after Pyongyang fired a rocket that passed over
Japan's northern Hokkaido island.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency,
citing a South Korean government source, also reported that intelligence
officials of the United States, South Korea and Japan had recently
detected signs of a possible missile launch and have been on higher
alert.
Asked about the media reports, Pentagon spokesman Colonel
Robert Manning told reporters the United States continued to watch North
Korea very closely.
"This is a diplomatically led effort at this
point, supported by military options," he said." The Republic of Korea
and U.S. alliance remains strong and capable of countering any North
Korean provocations or attacks."
