SEOUL, Oct. 1 (UPI) -- A freight train has begun moving in the direction of North Korea's Sohae Satellite Launching Station in Tongchang-ri, North Pyongan province.
The train, headed for North Korea's rocket launch pad was first spotted on Thursday, an unidentified source told Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun. Yonhap reported the contents of the freight train were unknown, but it was unlikely given the timing of transportation and the assembly required, a missile launch could take place prior to Oct. 10, the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Workers' Party.
The United States, South Korea and Japan have all confirmed the train is headed for the launch pad, South Korean outlet News 1 reported, and was likely to have departed from a special weapons facility in Sanum-dong, a district in Pyongyang.
