North Korea might conduct a nuclear test next year, South Korea’s spy agency has said.<\/p>\n

South Korea’s<\/strong> intelligence agency also said Pyongyang received help from Russia<\/strong> for its successful launch of a reconnaissance satellite this week.<\/p>\n

North Korea<\/strong> had sent data to Russia on launch vehicles used in two failed previous satellite launches, and Moscow had offered its analysis of the data, Yoo Sang-bum, a member of the parliamentary intelligence committee, said after a briefing by the spy agency.<\/p>\n

The launch was “successful”, with the satellite entering orbit around the Earth, and North Korea could launch additional satellites and conduct a nuclear test next year, Youn Kun-young, another committee member, said.<\/p>\n

The last time the secretive state tested a nuclear bomb was in 2017 – at a facility it apparently demolished ahead of talks between then US president Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Sky News correspondent Tom Cheshire was the only British broadcaster invited to watch a series of demolition explosions<\/strong> at the facility ahead of the meeting.<\/p>\n

North Korea state media claimed the site had been completely dismantled in the blasts “to ensure the transparency of discontinuance of nuclear test”.<\/p>\n

South Korea suspended part of a military agreement<\/strong> after the North defied warnings to launch its spy satellite.<\/p>\n

The move means Seoul will step up surveillance along its fortified northern border – negating a clause laid out in a 2018 pact between the nations.<\/p>\n

Critics had argued the agreement had only weakened South Korea’s ability to monitor the northern border – while North Korea had violated the agreement.<\/p>\n

Images published in North Korean state media on Tuesday showed what appeared to be Mr Kim watching a rocket launch from a base.<\/p>\n

According to the KCNA news agency, the North Korean leader was later briefed on the satellite’s operations and viewed pictures taken above the US territory of Guam in the Pacific.<\/p>\n

He emphasised the need for more satellites on different orbits to give his forces “abundant valuable real-time information about the enemy and further promote their responsive posture”, the agency added.<\/p>\n

After adjustments, its reconnaissance mission is due to start on 1 December.<\/p>\n
