SEOUL, South Korea (AP) _ North Korea is preparing to conduct more missile tests soon, a South Korean newspaper reported Thursday, citing intelligence obtained by South Korean and U.S. authorities.

A U.S. spy satellite detected signs that the North had deployed about 10 missiles on a small islet north of Korea's disputed western sea border and other adjacent areas, the Chosun Ilbo newspaper said, quoting an unidentified government official.

North Korea reportedly fired two short-range missiles into waters off the west coast on Tuesday. South Korean and U.S. officials declined to confirm the reports, but U.S. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said Wednesday that the U.S. "would advise against" any short-range missile firing by the North.

South Korean intelligence officials believe the North could fire more than five more missiles — KN-01 land-to-ship and Styx ship-to-ship missiles, Chosun Ilbo said.
