Washington: The Pentagon has picked up signs that North Korea is prepping for another missile test, a US defence official said Tuesday, as the United States cited progress in pushing China to impose tough new UN sanctions. The official said the test would be of either an intermediate-range missile or North Korea’s ICBM—known as a KN-20 or a Hwasong-14. South Korea’s news agency Yonhap quoted a government source as saying Seoul had seen North Korea moving transporter erector launchers carrying ICBM launch tubes in North Pyongan province. “They’re setting up for something,” a second US defense official told AFP. After North Korea’s July 4 test, the United States launched a push at the United Nations for tougher measures against Pyongyang.
