Pyongyang seems to be still operating uranium enrichment facilities at the Yongbyon nuclear site, ONA reports citing South Korean news agency Yonhap.

"(North Korea's) uranium enrichment facilities were known to be in normal operation even before the recent summit between the leaders of the United States and North Korea," Suh Hoon, the NIS chief, said in his recent address to lawmakers.

The outlet added that at the same closed briefing, the NIS chief said the agency had detected the movement of vehicles at North Korea's Saneum-dong missile research facility.

Moreover, the intelligence agency reportedly spotted the signs suggesting that Pyongyang was partially restoring its Dongchang-ri missile launch site that it started demolishing last year.
