North Korea: Long-Range Engine Tests Increased, Officials Say North Korea has increased testing of engines that could be used to power long-range ballistic missiles, said South Korean officials yesterday, citing U.S. sources (see GSN, Jan. 15). “North Korea has tested a new engine every year to extend its missile range since it fired a Taepo Dong missile in August 1998,” said a South Korean government source quoted by the Yonhap news agency. The United States obtained information through an intelligence satellite that North Korea had tested a long-range missile engine several times last year, according to Yonhap. The United States gave South Korea satellite photos of the latest tests, according to the Chosun Ilbo newspaper (Agence France-Presse, Feb. 6).
