SEOUL • North Korea is said to be preparing for another test launch of a ballistic missile with an intercontinental or intermediate range in the next two weeks, according to latest US intelligence.
Satellite imagery suggests that Pyongyang could be testing components and missile control facilities in the run-up to a launch, CNN reported on Wednesday, quoting two US administration officials.
However, assessment by US intelligence shows it remains in the early stages, according to CNN.
On Tuesday, vice-chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Paul Selva said North Korea does not have the ability to strike the United States with “any degree of accuracy” and while its missiles have the range, they lack the necessary guidance capability, Reuters reported.
“What the experts tell me is that the North Koreans have yet to demonstrate the capacity to do the guidance and control that would be required, ” said General Selva, the second highest-ranking US military official, according to Reuters.
