North Korea is planning to test fire a long-range missile that could hit the west coast of the US, South Korean officials told state media. Any such test would further inflame regional tensions and follows Pyongyang’s warnings in recent weeks that it stands on the brink of open war with Seoul. South Korean government officials told the Yonhap news agency that they had received U.S. satellite images of a train carrying a suspected Taepodong-2 missile to Dongchangri, near the Chinese border where nuclear-armed North Korea is building a launch pad.
