South Korea's intelligence agency also reported that Pyongyang received assistance from Russia to successfully launch a reconnaissance satellite this week.

North Korea has sent data to Russia on the launch vehicles used in two previous failed satellite launches, and Moscow has offered its analysis of the data, said Yoo Sang-bom, a member of the parliamentary intelligence committee, after a briefing by the intelligence agency.

The launch was successful, the satellite entered orbit around the Earth, and North Korea may launch additional satellites and conduct nuclear tests next year, said Yoon Kun-yeon, another member of the committee.

The country last tested a nuclear bomb in 2017, at a facility that was apparently demolished before talks between then-U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the newspaper said.

South Korea suspended the implementation of part of the military agreement after the DPRK ignored warnings about the launch of its spy satellite.

This was the first launch since Kim met with Vladimir Putin at a Russian space facility in September, where the Russian president promised to help North Korea build more satellites, the newspaper noted.
