North Korea Planning To Launch Test Rocket

[FXexpert]

For the past few months the United States has been a monitoring a potential test rocket launch by North Korea, a country which has been striving to obtain nuclear abilities for some time. While the North Koreans claim that the test rocket is being mistaken for a satellite by U.S. intelligence, aerial photos show otherwise.

The long range test rocket could have the potential to reach U.S. soil and threaten sovereign nations in the region.

A test launch would also go against the U.N. security council resolution, adopted in 2006, which explicitly prohibits the nation from launching certain types of missiles.
