WASHINGTON (AP) - Satellite imagery shows North Korea has made new tunnel entrances at its nuclear test site in a sign it is preparing to conduct more underground explosions there in the future, a U.S. research institute said Wednesday.
That's the latest indication that Pyongyang is pressing on with its nuclear weapons program, although the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies says there's no sign another test explosion is coming soon.
In February, North Korea conducted its third and most powerful nuclear test since 2006, drawing international condemnation - including from its benefactor China - and tighter U.N. sanctions.
......North Korea is believed to have recently restarted a mothballed nuclear reactor that is capable of producing plutonium for bombs.
