North Korea is preparing for another long-range missile test which believes can reach west coast of United States, Reuters reported. The report was reveiled by a Russian lawmaker who just returned from a visit to Pyongyang.
A member of Russian lower house of parliament's Anton Morozov, an international affairs committee and two other Russian lawmakers visited North Korea on Oct. 2-6, RIA news reported.
“They are preparing for new tests of a long-range missile. They even gave us mathematical calculations that they believe prove that their missile can hit the west coast of the United States,” RIA quoted Morozov as saying.
“As far as we understand, they intend to launch one more long-range missile in the near future. And in general, their mood is rather belligerent.”

Tensions increases in recent weeks over North Korea’s nuclear weapons and missile programs as Pyongyang has test-fired several missiles and conducted what it said was a test explosion of a hydrogen bomb as it advances toward its goal of developing a nuclear-tipped missile capable of hitting the U.S. mainland.
