Recent satellite images show that North Korea has completed a launch tower at its new missile base, a key step in efforts to test a missile which could eventually reach the United States, experts say.
An image taken on January 10 of the Tongchang-ri base on the west coast shows a movable launch pad and swing arms along with the tower.
It was disclosed by VOA News this week and was posted on the website of US defence information group GlobalSecurity.org, prompting a senior US military commander to describe the development as a "major concern".
The new base is seen as a key step in the North's quest for an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) that could possibly strike the United States, GlobalSecurity.org said.
