Well, given the past track record of Russia (just ask Ukraine), the Russian denials most likely means they are massing troops on NK's border...

There were snap drills in the Far Eastern MD with equipment movement. Such drills include long range transportation to unfammiliar training areas. The snap drills may be related to the crisis, as a measure to increase readiness for contingencies.

It appears that western observers are talking about one such unit returing from the training area. Russia-DPRK border area is fairly narrow.
