Fresh satellite images of North Korea obtained by CNN show new work and the expansion of buildings associated with the production of long-range intercontinental ballistic missile launchers in Pyongsong, North Korea

The March 16 factory in Pyongsong produces trucks for North Korea's military and was involved in modifying launchers imported from China and producing domestic vehicles for North Korea's ICBM programs, according to Jeff Lewis, the director of the East Asia Nonproliferation Project at the Middlebury Institute.

"The expansion of the factory may represent a growing capability of North Korea to produce these trucks domestically," Lewis said in explaining the significance. A US administration official told CNN on Friday that North Korea may be preparing to test engines and other components of its missile program. But senior military commanders said Friday that the US is ready for"whatever" Pyongyang might do.
