The US-based monitoring group said on Thursday that commercial satellite imagery of the nuclear test site from April 12 shows continued activity around the North Portal, new activity in the main administrative area, and a few personnel around the site’s Command Center. It added that in the courtyards of the main administrative area are approximately 11 probable tarp-covered pallets of equipment or supplies, a formation of personnel, and several individuals walking about. Voice of America cited American officials claiming the deployment of a nuclear device underground for testing on Saturday.
