N. Korea Preparing For Another Ballistic Missile Test in Two Weeks

North Korea appears to be preparing for another test launch of a ballistic missile of intercontinental or intermediate range in the next two weeks, CNN reported Wednesday.

It quoted two U.S. administration officials as saying that the indications appear in the latest intelligence. Satellite imagery also suggests that the communist nation could be testing components and missile control facilities in the run-up to a launch, officials said, according to CNN.

Following the intelligence report, South Korean and the United States military officials said that they are closely watching North Korea for any signs for a possible imminent provocation.

The North test-fired what it claimed was an ICBM on July 4 in defiance of multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions that ban its use of any ballistic missile technology. The UNSC is working on additional sanctions to punish the North's latest provocation.
