Following North Korea's reactivation of a nuclear reactor and the test of a Taepodong 2 missile engine, both of which were revealed Thursday, a government official said Pyongyang's next move would probably be to test-launch a ballistic missile.
The official indicated that recent events are part of a strategy of intimidation on the part of Pyongyang.
It was reported Thursday that a 5,000-kilowatt graphite-moderated reactor in Yongbyon was reactivated and that a Taepodong 2 rocket booster was tested in January at a missile launch site.
