Seoul: A Japanese newspaper has reported that North Korea is preparing to launch a short or medium-range missile, which could come immediately after it carries out its plan to test a long-range rocket early next month.
North Korea says it will shoot a communications satellite into orbit between April 4 and 8 as part of a peaceful bid to develop its space program.
Tokyo's Sankei newspaper, citing several unnamed Japanese government sources, reported on Sunday that the North was preparing for the test-launch of another missile from Wonsan.
The report said US, South Korean and Japanese intelligence analyses said the missile could be a short- or medium-range missile.
