The Japanese government has been on alert after catching radio signals suggesting North Korea might be preparing for a ballistic missile launch, government sources said Monday.
“North Korea might launch a missile within the next few days,” one of the sources said.
But as satellite images have not shown a missile or a movable launchpad, the signals may only be related to winter training for the North Korean military, the sources said.
The reclusive state has been relatively quiet recently, not conducting a nuclear or missile test since Sept. 15 when it launched an intermediate-range ballistic missile over northern Japan into the Pacific Ocean.
Analysts say, however, the North may resort to more military provocations after U.
