North Korea is planning to test a missile that its officials said could be capable of reaching the U.S. West Coast, according to two Russian legislators who returned from a visit to Pyongyang this week.
“They told us that they’re preparing to test more powerful long-range missile that, in their view, would be able to hit the West Coast of the U.S.,” Anton Morozov, a member of the International Affairs Committee in the lower house of parliament, said in a telephone interview. The North Korean officials said the missile could be tested soon, though weren’t more specific, according to Morozov.
