A NASA satellite has captured dozens of fires across North Korea. The agency has blamed the country's aging infrastructure for those fires. NASA said that some of the fires have been spotted in heavily forested areas, suggesting that they could be wildfires. Reports have claimed that dropping power lines due to old power infrastructure often kindle wildfires in the country.

Lots of fire was spotted in farming areas because of farmers making efforts to clear debris and fertilize soil for the next season. As a result of fires, plumes of smoke have been sent over the Sea of Japan.

Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer on NASA's Aqua satellite took the image of fires in North Korea on April 25, 2014. Red outline shows the actively burning areas detected by MODIS's thermal bands. Fields and grasslands, on the other hand, appear light brown.

Green color shows forests at lower elevations and those at higher elevations are still brown at this time of the year.

Farming areas along rivers are the ones that have suffered the most due to the fires. Many people prefer farming on marginal land along rivers in the mountainous areas, despite the fact that North Korea's best agricultural land is located on the coastal plain in the western part of the country.

North Korea was recently in the news for revealing a logo for its space agency, NADA, which looked very similar to the US space agency, NASA. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer has captured dozens of fire in North Korea, but this time the fires are less dense compared to the ones in the past.
