U.S. spy agencies: North Korea is working on new missiles

U.S. spy agencies are seeing signs that North Korea is constructing new
missiles at a factory that produced the country’s first intercontinental
ballistic missiles capable of reaching the United States, according to
officials familiar with the intelligence.
Newly obtained evidence, including satellite photos taken in recent weeks,
indicates that work is underway on at least one and possibly two liquid-
fueled ICBMs at a large research facility in Sanumdong, on the outskirts of
Pyongyang, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of
anonymity to describe classified intelligence.
The findings are the latest to show ongoing activity inside North Korea’s
nuclear and missile facilities at a time when the country’s leaders are
engaged in arms talks with the United States. The new intelligence does not
suggest an expansion of North Korea’s capabilities but shows that work on
advanced weapons is continuing weeks after President Trump declared in a
Twitter posting that Pyongyang was “no longer a Nuclear Threat.”
The reports about new missile construction come after recent revelations
about a suspected uranium enrichment facility, called Kangson, that North
Korea is operating in secret. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo acknowledged
during Senate testimony last week that North Korean factories “continue to
produce fissile material” used in making nuclear weapons. He declined to
say whether Pyongyang is building new missiles.

During a summit with Trump in June, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un agreed
to a vaguely worded pledge to “work toward” the “denuclearization” of
the Korean Peninsula. But since then, North Korea has made few tangible
moves signaling an intention to disarm.

Instead, senior North Korean officials have discussed their intention to
deceive Washington about the number of nuclear warheads and missiles they
have, as well as the types and numbers of facilities, and to rebuff
international inspectors, according to intelligence gathered by U.S.
agencies. Their strategy includes potentially asserting that they have fully
denuclearized by declaring and disposing of 20 warheads while retaining
dozens more.
The Sanumdong factory has produced two of North Korea’s ICBMs, including
the powerful Hwasong-15, the first with a proven range that could allow it
to strike the U.S. East Coast. The newly obtained evidence points to ongoing
work on at least one Hwasong-15 at the Sanumdong plant, according to
imagery collected by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency in recent
weeks.
“We see them going to work, just as before,” said one U.S. official, who,
like the others, spoke on the condition of anonymity in discussing sensitive
intelligence. The exception, the officials said, is the Sohae Satellite
Launching Station on North Korea’s west coast, where workers can be
observed dismantling an engine test stand, honoring a promise made to Trump
at the summit.

say]
Many analysts and independent experts, however, see that dismantling as
largely symbolic, since North Korea has now successfully launched ICBMs that
use the kind of liquid-fueled engines tested at Sohae. Moreover, the test
stand could easily be rebuilt within months.

Buttressing the intelligence findings, independent missile experts this week
also reported observing activity consistent with missile construction at
the Sanumdong plant. The daily movement of supply trucks and other vehicles,
as captured by commercial satellite photos, shows that the missile facility
“is not dead, by any stretch of the imagination,” said Jeffrey Lewis,
director of the East Asia Nonproliferation Program at the James Martin
Center for Nonproliferation Studies. The Monterey, Calif., nonprofit group
analyzed commercial photos obtained from the satellite imagery firm Planet.
“It’s active. We see shipping containers and vehicles coming and going,”
Lewis said of the Sanumdong plant. “This is a facility where they build
ICBMs and space-launch vehicles.”
Intriguingly, one image, taken July 7, depicts a bright-red covered trailer
in a loading area. The trailer appears identical to those used by North
Korea in the past to transport ICBMs. How the trailer was being used at the
time of the photograph is unclear.
Lewis’s group also published images of a large industrial facility that
some U.S. intelligence analysts believe to be the Kangson uranium enrichment
plant. The images, first reported by the online publication the Diplomat,
depict a football-field-size building surrounded by a high wall, in North
Korea’s Chollima-guyok district, southwest of the capital. The complex has
a single, guarded entrance and features high-rise residential towers
apparently used by workers.
Historical satellite photos show that the facility was externally complete
by 2003. U.S. intelligence agencies believe that it has been operational for
at least a decade. If so, North Korea’s stockpile of enriched uranium
could be substantially higher than is commonly believed. U.S. intelligence
agencies in recent months increased their estimates of the size of North
Korea’s nuclear arsenal, taking into account enriched uranium from at least
one secret enrichment site.
[Secret facilities complicate task of dismantling North Korea’s weapons
sites]
The Kangson facility was first publicly identified in May in a Washington
Post article that cited research by nuclear weapons expert David Albright.
Some European intelligence officials are not convinced that the Kangson site
is used for uranium enrichment. But there is a broad consensus among U.S.
intelligence agencies that Kangson is one of at least two secret enrichment
plants.
Several U.S. officials and private analysts said the continued activity
inside North Korea’s weapons complex is not surprising, given that Kim made
no public promise at the summit to halt work at the scores of nuclear and
missiles facilities scattered around the country.
The North Koreans “never agreed to give up their nuclear program,” said
Ken Gause, a North Korea expert at the Center for Naval Analysis. And it is
foolish to expect that they would do so — at the outset of talks, he said.
“Regime survival and perpetuation of Kim family rule” are Kim’s guiding
principles, he said. “The nuclear program provides them with a deterrent in
their mind against regime change by the United States. Giving up the
nuclear capability will violate the two fundamental centers of gravity in
the North Korean regime.”
Pompeo, at the Senate hearing last week, sought to assure lawmakers that the
disarmament talks with North Korea remained on track and that the effort to
dismantle the country’s nuclear arsenal was just getting underway. He
brushed aside suggestions that the administration had been deceived by Kim.
“We have not been taken for a ride,” he said.
But some independent analysts think the Trump administration has misread Kim
’s intentions, interpreting his commitment to eventual denuclearization as
a promise to immediately surrender the country’s nuclear arsenal and
dismantle its weapons factories.
“We have this backward. North Korea is not negotiating to give up their
nuclear weapons,” Lewis said. “They are negotiating for recognition of
their nuclear weapons. They’re willing to put up with certain limits, like
no nuclear testing and no ICBM testing. What they’re offering is: They keep
the bomb, but they stop talking about it.” | w*********r
