adding on to the ongoing situation, North Korea is possibly preparing to test fire a ICBM. While they may claim its a space shot, the technology behind a ICBM remains the same.
The speculation is that the North Korean's are preparing to test launch a BM25 Musudan intermediate range missile which has a range of 4000 kms which would allow them to easily hit any target in Asia. Its also a mobile launch capable missile.
It could also be something new, or the Unha space launch multi-stage rocket which can launch satellites, but could be a ballistic launch system.
We know that NK has claimed to exploded a hydrogen bomb, which I still have doubts about. But usually once you figure out how to miniaturize a war head, you start working on a delivery system. If the NK's have a effective bullet. Inventing the gun is a huge development.
