Shocking satellite images show North Korea is readying for more nuke missile tests
WORRYING new satellite images indicate trigger-happy despot Kim Jong-un is preparing to launch several more nukes.
Pictures from space of the Punggye-ri nuclear test site show the presence of four or five vehicles at the entrance to the North Portal, the site of North Korea’s past four nuclear tests.
It's feared these vehicles are related to test preparations and could be involved in the installation of new instrumentation or even nuclear devices, .
The photos also show huge piles of sand and aggregate needed to help 'stem' radiation leaking into the atmosphere.
Last week, we told how the rogue state is preparing to launch an inter-continental ballistic missile that is capable of travelling 10,000km and could strike the US.
Pyongyang will pursue "acceleration" of its nuclear and missile programme, including a "pre-emptive first-strike capability" and development of an ICBM missile, according to an envoy.

Military officials claim Kim is set to show the United States its capability of striking a designated target on the American mainland when it tests it's next missile.
The official, who did not want to be named, told the : "The North showed off improved engine efficiency in a test last Saturday, and it will now focus on perfecting a long-range re-entry vehicle to make an operational ICBM.
"This is a step toward completing its ICBM technology."
North Korea has never flight-tested its road-mobile KN-08 or KN-14 ICBMs, but they are believed to be capable of flying more than 10,000km - a range sufficient to reach the States.
Following the experiment, the dictator hinted at another missile test, telling the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA): "The whole world will soon witness what eventful significance the great victory won today carries."
A state official later roared that Pyongyang has "the will and capability" for conflict with Donald Trump's America.
He said: "We have the will and capability to fully respond to any war which the US wants.
"If the businessman-turned-US officials thought that they would frighten us, they would soon recognise that their method would not work."
Officials close to Trump responded by declaring outside North Korea.
The outburst comes just a day after tyrant Kim released a propaganda video showing a US aircraft carrier being blown up and a bomber shot down in flames.
Snaps from the secretive state's recent ballistic missile launches are shown alongside the haunting message: "A knife will be stabbed into the throat of the carrier."
