The United States army predicts that North Korea will be holding a new missile test. This will of either an intermediate-range missile or North Korea’s ICBM – known as a KN-20 or a Hwasong-14, according to the source.

This is predicted to happen on the 27th, which is the 64th anniversary of the signing of the Korean armistice agreement.

The South Korean government expressed concerns on the 4th of July that these missiles could reach Alaska. The US Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, said on Tuesday that progress had been made in conversations with China, regarding imposing harsher sanctions on North Korea as a result.
