Yonhap reported Thursday that the North informed the International Maritime Organization it will launch a satellite between April 4-8. Yonhap cited a source it did not identify.
Neighboring governments suspect the launch will be aimed at testing long-range missile technology and have urged Pyongyang not to go forward.
