A report from South
Korea's government said on Sunday it believes that North
Korea may test to launch a missile around April 10, citing as an indicator
Pyongyang's push for workers to leave the Kaesong Industrial Complex by then.
Seoul "is on military readiness posture,"
said South Korea's Blue House spokeswoman Kim Haeng in a briefing. She said
national security chief Kim Jang-soo also based the assessment on North Korea's
hint to foreign diplomats in Pyongyang to send personnel out of the country.
The Blue House is the office and residence of South
Korea's president, similar to the White House in the United States.
"As of now, nothing out of the ordinary has
been detected," Haeng said on Kim's behalf. "If limited war is to
break out, North Korea should bear in mind that it will receive damages many
times over."
In the rising tide of its anger, North Korea's
communist government days ago banned the entry of new workers and trucks into
Kaesong, which is on its side of the militarily fortified border with the
south.
Personnel and supplies are running out in the shared
manufacturing zone, causing 13 companies to cease production, the South Korean
Unification Ministry said in a statement Sunday.
There are 518 people left in Kaesong with 39 planning
to exit Monday.
