The  source added the two militaries have raised the "Watchcon" (watch  condition) level from three to two, which denotes "vital indications" of  a security threat.Watchcon is a five-stage surveillance system  watching over North Korean military movements. The higher the level, the  more spy satellites, reconnaissance planes and intelligence analysts  are deployed on more frequent monitoring missions.</blockquote>
