South Korea’s military intelligence says North Korea is set to conduct a nuclear test and may soon launch a long-range missile capable of reaching the United States. This would be North Korea’s seventh nuclear test, likely at Punggye-ri’s test site. Preparations for an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launch are also in progress, with a launch vehicle deployed. South Korea estimates around 11,000 North Korean troops are now in Russia, with some nearing combat zones. Tensions are rising, as North Korean leader Kim Jong Un continues to show off his military power, increasing concerns for neighboring countries and the U.S.
