SEOUL (AFP) — North Korea appears to be preparing to test-fire short-range missiles after banning ships from waters off its northeast coast, a report said Friday.
A vehicle mounted with a missile launcher has been seen moving around for the past two or three days in an eastern coastal area of Hamkyong province, South Korea's Yonhap news agency quoted a government source as saying.
"Judging from an analysis of the movements, the North appears to be preparing to test-launch short-range missiles," the source was quoted as saying.
In Tokyo, Japan's Coast Guard said the communist state was warning ships not to pass through waters within a 130-kilometre (80-mile) radius of the town of Kimchaek.
It said the warning applied to the hours between 10:00 am (0100 GMT) and 6:00 pm until the end of this month.
