Folks, this is NEW (this afternoon our time).
This is completely separate from the other new provocations they are starting, with another potential long range ICBM launch from the complex at Dongchangri on the West Coast that they are said to be preparing (of course on heels of their long range ICBM test on 5 April from Musudanri (Northeast Coast), then their underground nuke test last week, and finally a number of barrages of intermediate missiles in the aftermath of their underground test at Kilchu (Northeast Coast area, not far from Musudanri).
