North Korea said it was a test to develop a reconnaissance satellite after firing a ballistic missile on the 27th and 5th of last month.
However, the South Korean military has caught the situation that North Korea is preparing for an additional launch.
A military official said, "There is movement of various types of missiles in multiple places, including Pyongyang's Sunan."
A government source said, "North Korea is showing signs of firing another super-large ICBM with reduced range in the pretext of testing the development of a reconnaissance satellite again next week."
At the time of launch, it was predicted that "when the weather is suitable for shooting the ground with a satellite camera" in order to make use of the justification of the reconnaissance satellite test.
If it fires one more time, it will fire an extra-large ICBM with a reduced range three times.
The plan is to launch a high-angle launch into the East Sea, and a real-range launch into the southern Philippine Sea by attaching a nominal satellite.
The United States has announced additional sanctions against two Russian nationals and three institutions that helped North Korea develop ICBMs.
It raised the level of warning about North Korea's provocations, but if North Korea launches an ICBM with the maximum range without any regard, it is likely to intensify military pressure as well.
