A US research group says satellite imagery indicates that North Korea is continuing construction activity at its nuclear site.
The analysis of the Nyongbyon nuclear complex was released on the 38 North website on Wednesday.
Researchers say images taken on October 29 show multiple vehicles on the premises, and others from November 14 confirm that construction work has been completed on a building near the experimental light-water reactor.
They also say a high-rise building is being constructed near what appears to be a research facility.
The group adds that there are no visible indications of reactor operations.
In a summit with the United States in February, North Korea sought a lifting of sanctions in exchange for scrapping the Nyongbyon complex.
But the US demanded that all other nuclear facilities should be dismantled as well, and the meeting ended without an agreement.
The two countries also held working-level talks on denuclearization in Sweden last month, but officials failed to make any progress.
