Seoul says North Korea close to launching ICBM

Pyongyang wants to “put pressure on the U.S", says MoU

The South Korean military said on Monday that North Korea is close to being able to launch an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), a day after a Pyongyang spokesman said its ICBM could be test fired "at any time and any place."

South Korea’s Ministry of National Defense (MND) said the military was "in preparation" for possible missile tests this year.
