“Ready a Korean missile”

MOSCOW – The Russian military has information on the upcoming launch of a new ballistic missile by North Korea: “We have information on the type and characteristics of the missile, but we do not know the precise date of the launch,” a General Staff source said Russian quoted by Interfax.

The source explained that the Russian control services constantly monitor the situation in the region: “In the case of the launch of a ballistic missile by Pyongyang, the Russian control services are able to identify it immediately.”

Yesterday, Moscow’s foreign ministry said to acknowledge the launch of a new missile from North Korea, which challenged the international community with the underground nuclear test of recent weeks and the full resumption of its atomic rearmament program.
