US President Donald Trump has said he would be disappointed if North Korea were to resume weapons testing
Mr Trump also reiterated his belief in his good relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, despite the collapse of a summit between the pair last week.
There have also been reports from South Korea's intelligence service of new activity at a factory at Sanumdong, near Pyongyang, that produced North Korea's first intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the United States. NPR said the photos from 22 February showed cars, trucks, rail cars and two cranes at Sanumdong, while in those taken yesterday, the activity had died down and one of the cranes had disappeared.
North Korea has frozen nuclear and missile testing since 2017, and Mr Trump has pointed to this as a positive outcome from nearly a year of high-level engagement with North Korea. Mr Kim pledged at a first summit with Mr Trump in Singapore in June that the engine test site and launch platform at Sohae would be dismantled. He repeated the pledge in a summit with the South Korean president in September.
