North Korea to test-launch an intercontinental ballistic missile.
Earlier this week, a South Korean senior official said that North Korea may test-launch an intercontinental ballistic missile in December. Now that an American submarine has reached South Korea, it is speculated that America is about to carry out some major operations against North Korea.
This operation may also be to stop North Korea’s upcoming missile test. However, there has been no official confirmation of this or any operation.
