North Korea: No Signs of Testing, South Korea Says South Korea said there are no signs that North Korea is preparing to test-fire its Taepo Dong-2 ballistic missile, contrary to U.S. claims, the South Korean news agency Yonhap reported last week. A U.S. intelligence report on foreign missile development released last week said the Taepo Dong-2 could be ready for flight-testing (see GSN, Jan. 10). The missile could reach targets in some parts of the United States with nuclear weapons, and with further development could hit targets within the entire country, the National Intelligence Estimate said. North Korea, however, has agreed to extend its self-imposed testing moratorium until 2003, according to the report. “I understand that there is no specific information or signs of the possibility of North Korea test-firing a Taepo Dong-2 missile,” a South Korean official said (Yonhap, Jan. 10, in FBIS-EAS, Jan. 10).
