Kim Jong-un’s North Korea is about to test a long-range missile which it believes can reach the west coast of the United States, according to Anton Morozov, a member of the Russian Duma’s international affairs committee and two other Russian lawmakers who visited Pyongyang this week, RIA news agency reports.
Mr Morozov said:”They are preparing for new tests of a long-range missile. “They even gave us mathematical calculations that they believe prove that their missile can hit the west coast of the United States. As far as we understand, they intend to launch one more long-range missile in the near future. And in general, their mood is rather belligerent.”
Fears are growing North Korea could test a nuke or launch a ballistic missile next Tuesday to mark the founding of its governing communist party. North Korea often tests nukes or rockets on key state anniversaries. This includes the birthdays of those in the ruling Kim dynasty.
