SEE-August1st: North Korea is building new missiles despite the latest summit between American president Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un that was held in Singapore in June.

“There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea," Trump tweeted after the summit in Semaphore.

U.S. intelligence agencies are seeing signs that Pyongyang is building the missiles in the same research facility that manufactured the country’s first intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) that are capable of reaching the U.S. mainland, Washington Post reported on Monday.

Kim pledged the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula at the summit, but the short agreement said nothing about inspections or a verification process to make sure North Korea follows through.

According to Reuters, US official said "A liquid-fuelled ICBM didn't "pose nearly the threat that a solid-fuelled one would because they take so long to fuel."

The news agency added that the satellite showed images of vehicles moving in and out of the Sanumdong site, but couldn’t show how far the development of the missiles were.
