00:00North Korea, for the first time, shows images of the centrifuges that produce fuel for its
00:05nuclear bombs, as leader Kim Jong-un visits a uranium-enrichment facility.
00:10Photos released by state media KCNA Friday, September 13, provide a rare look inside North
00:15Korea's nuclear program, which is banned under multiple United Nations Security Council
00:20resolutions.
00:21The report did not make clear when the visit occurred nor the facility's location.
00:25KCNA says in a separate report, Kim oversaw the test launch of a new 600-millimeter multiple-launch
00:31rocket system on Thursday.
00:33A South Korean official earlier said the launch may have been meant to test the weapons for
00:37export to Russia.
00:39North Korea conducted six underground nuclear tests between 2006 and 2017.
00:45In July, a U.S. report concluded the country may have built up to 90 nuclear warheads but
00:50that it has likely assembled closer to 50.
