N Korea may launch ballistic missile

A mobile ballistic missile may be launched one of these days or within the next few weeks, CNN reports.

The South Korean authorities told that the North had moved a medium-range missile to its east coast for an imminent test firing or military drill earlier. Seoul did not believe that the missile was able to reach the U.S. mainland.

North Korea protested against USA-South Korea joint manoeuvres at the beginning of March and refused from all the previous agreements with its southern neighbour including the non-aggression pact. Pyongyang threatened U.S. military bases in the Pacific Ocean and on the continent with missile strikes many times before.
