N Korea working on new missiles
North and South Korea discussed reducing tension but didn't announce any detailed agreements after military talks yesterday, while the United States detected renewed activity at a North Korean missile factory, casting more suspicion over the North's intentions.
The meeting, the second since June and held in the border village of Panmunjom, was designed to follow on from an inter-Korean summit in April at which leaders of the two Koreas agreed to defuse tension and halt "all hostile acts".
US intelligence agencies have found that North Korea is building new missiles, based on satellite photographs taken in recent weeks and other new evidence, The Washington Post reported Monday.
The factory outside Pyongyang in Sanumdong where the work is underway produced the North's first ICBMs capable of reaching the United States.
Following the Singapore summit in June, Trump had declared that Pyongyang was "no longer a Nuclear Threat," and touted his own diplomatic achievements.
But Kim did not publicly promise to end work at the country's nuclear and missile facilities, instead speaking of eventual denuclearization.
