一家卫星图像公司说，新图像显示朝鲜导弹发射场的活动增加，朝鲜有可能在数星期内试射一枚远程导弹。
A satellite operator says new images show increased activity at a North Korean launch site, suggesting a long-range missile test could take place in just weeks.
地球数据公司(DigitalGlobe)星期一发布的图像显示朝鲜西海卫星发射场的人员、卡车和其他设备的活动水平提高。
The image released Monday by DigitalGlobe shows an increased level of personnel, trucks and other equipment at North Korea's Sohae (West Sea) Satellite Launch Station.
地球数据说，如果朝鲜有相关计划，就可以在未来三星期内试射一枚远程弹道导弹。该公司表示，西海发射场的活动类似朝鲜4月发射火箭之前的准备活动。
DigitalGlobe says if North Korea desires, it could carry out a long-range ballistic missile test in the next three weeks. It says the activity is similar to preparations seen before North Korea's failed rocket launch in April.
拥有核武器的朝鲜说，4月发射火箭是为了把一颗卫星送入轨道。但美国及其盟国说，这是一次掩盖的弹道导弹试射，而联合国的制裁决议禁止朝鲜试射弹道导弹。
Nuclear-armed North Korea said the April launch was meant to place a satellite into orbit. But the U.S. and its allies said it was a disguised ballistic missile test banned under U.N. sanctions.
