(AP photo)SEOUL -- South Korea is closely watching North Korea over the possibility it may launch another intercontinental ballistic missile as soon as Saturday when it celebrates its founding anniversary. North Korea fired the ICBMs at highly lofted angles in July to reduce ranges and avoid other countries. North Korea broke from its pattern of lofted launches last month when it fired a powerful new intermediate range missile, the Hwasong-12, over northern Japan. China and Russia have been calling for talks, saying sanctions aren't working against North Korea.
