Newly obtained evidence, including satellite photos taken in recent weeks, indicates that work is underway on at least one and possibly two liquid-fueled ICBMs at a large research facility in Sanumdong, on the outskirts of Pyongyang, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe classified intelligence.
The findings are the latest to show ongoing activity inside North Koreas nuclear and missile facilities at a time when the countrys leaders are engaged in arms talks with the United States. The new intelligence does not suggest an expansion of North Koreas capabilities but shows that work on advanced weapons is continuing weeks after President Trump declared in a Twitter posting that Pyongyang was no longer a Nuclear Threat. The reports about new missile construction come after recent revelations about a suspected uranium enrichment facility, called Kangson, that North Korea is operating in secret. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo acknowledged during Senate testimony last week that North Korean factories continue to produce fissile material used in making nuclear weapons. He declined to say whether Pyongyang is building new missiles.
During a summit with Trump in June, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un agreed to a vaguely worded pledge to work toward the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. But since then, North Korea has made few tangible moves signaling an intention to disarm.

Sooo, the question could have been "If North Korea were working on missiles; how would you know?"
And the anonymous sources goes on to describe classified intelligence; no divulge it (because there is no there, there(?)).
Sounds suspicious to me, like the mediots are trying to stir up issues for POTUS.
“.....according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe classified intelligence.”...
Why are people like the leaker still employed in our government “intelligence” departments? Sounds like more swamp dwellers that need to be outed.
FAKE NEWS is so easy to spot now that we’re awoke.
I don't think that Trump is looking just "to avoid unnecessary conflicts".....he's after 'real and long range solutions' that will work to resolve the unsuccessful patterns of the past and be sustainable beyond his terms.
The sorry state of journalism in this country does not warrant the quickness to give the Bashar Al Assads and Kim Jong Uns of the world the benefit of the doubt. No matter how flawed this country is, there is no moral equivalence between their institutions and ours.
Yes it is...and maybe it’s another false flag to catch the leakers. Shepard Smith just can’t help himself. All one would have to do is change the date and number on an old overhead image! Boom Yeow!
