North Korea has suggested it may postpone its planned launch this month of a rocket carrying a satellite, the official Korean Central News Agency reported early Sunday.
Meanwhile, South Korea's Yonhap News Agency quoted a government official as saying that North Korea has halted all preparation activities at the launch site in the country's northwest.
KCNA quoted a spokesman for the Korean Committee of Space Technology as saying, "Our scientists and technicians . . . are now seriously examining the issue of readjusting the launching time of the satellite for some reasons."
