News Desk: According to reports from South Korean intelligence, North Korea is gearing up to test a nuclear weapon as new satellite images show that the country is digging a new underground tunnel at a nuclear test site.

The satellite photos reportedly show that North Korean officials are digging a new tunnel at a site in the northeastern part of the countrywhere the nuclear tests were conducted in 2006 and 2009.


The reports were leaked after North Korea announced its plan to launch a satellite between April 12 and 16, which triggered tensions in its southern neighbouring country South Korea and the United States.


North Korea said that the launch is aimed to mark a century since the birth of Kim I1 Sung. However, the launch was failed.
