The image was likely taken by a satellite equipped with Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), which can collect data regardless of weather using remote sensing systems, the media suggested.
South Korea operates multiple SAR-equipped satellites, including a military reconnaissance satellite, although images taken by military satellites are usually not included in government press releases as they are classified as military secrets.
South Korea closely monitors North Korea's movements using satellites operated by the government and the military, amid growing and deepening military cooperation between russia and DPRK.
It will be recalled that the mass media previously stated that the North Korean authorities sent special unit of the Special Operations Forces of the DPRK to russia for the war against Ukraine.
