North Korea is all set with equipment that will monitor the launch of a rocket, and indicates it could be fired within hours, the South's Yonhap news agency quoted an unnamed South Korean government official as saying.
North Korea has said it would launch a long-range rocket from Saturday to Wednesday between the hours of 0200 GMT to 0700 GMT. The launch is widely viewed as a camouflaged test of a long-range missile that contravenes the UN resolutions.
"Looking from the completion of fuelling and the setting up of monitoring cameras, the possibility of a launch within a few hours is very high," the source was quoted as saying.
