North Korea has NOT stopped its nuclear activities despite Kim Jong-un’s promises to Donald Trump, UN inspectors reveal
The UN's nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, says there has been no indication Kim Jong-un's rogue regime has halted its nuclear weapons programme
NORTH Korea has not stopped its nuclear activities despite Donald Trump's historic meeting with Kim Jong-un in June, the UN says.
According to the organisation's nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, there has been no indication the rogue regime has halted development.
The IAEA, referring to North Korea by its official name, said: "The continuation and further development of the DPRK’s nuclear program and related statements by the DPRK are a cause for grave concern."
It comes as spy satellites earlier this month showed North Korea was still trying to build nuke-wielding ballistic missiles - despite Kim Jong-un agreeing to scrap the weapons in June.
Photos and infrared imaging indicated vehicles moving in and out of a facility at Sanumdong but didn't show how advanced any rocket construction might be, a senior US official told Reuters.
According to the , North Korea appeared to be building one or two new liquid-fuelled intercontinental ballistic missiles.
The report claims the rockets were being built at the large research facility on the outskirts of Pyongyang, citing unidentified officials familiar with intelligence reporting.
According to the US official, one photo showed a truck and covered trailer similar to those the North has previously used to move its intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).

Since the trailer was covered, it was not possible to know what, if anything, it was carrying.
ICBMs are nuclear-tipped long-range rockets which, if fired from North Korea, would be capable of reaching west coast of the United States.
The White House said it did not comment on intelligence.
