North Korean officials have reportedly told regional news agencies that they have set an early April launch date for their controversial satellite.
Many neighboring countries and Western nations believe that North Korea is using the pretense of a satellite launch to test their capability of firing a long range ballistic missile that could potentially reach the continental United States.
The situation has to be dealt with carefully, as North Korea has warned that any attempt to shoot down the satellite would be regarded as an “act of war.”
There has not been an official date set as of yet, but South Korea’s Yonhap news agency quoted an undisclosed North Korean government source saying the launch would be between April 4th and 8th.
