‘N Korea may be gearing up for a missile launch’

Bloomberg

Japan received radio signals suggesting that North Korea may be preparing for a missile launch test, Kyodo News reported, citing multiple government officials. Japan didn’t specify the type of possible missile, according to the news service. Any radio signals could be from winter training by North Korea’s military, Kyodo said. Separately, Yonhap reported that the US continues to watch North Korea activities “very closely.”
North Korea’s current pause in provocations is the longest since last winter, prompting Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Igor Morgulov to say
that Kim Jong Un’s regime
appears to be taking a step toward denuclearisation. North Korea’s last provocation was on September 15, when it fired its second missile over Japan in as many months.
