North Korea appears to be making preparations to launch another long-range Taepodong-2 missile but the missile is not yet on the launch pad, NBC News reported on Wednesday, citing unnamed U.S. officials.
NBC said the missile was nonetheless in its final assembly stage.
North Korea launched at least six missiles early on Wednesday and a seventh some 12 hours later, officials in Japan and South Korea said.
Fox News is reporting at 22:46 EDT that South Korean news sources are reporting that North Korea is preparing to launch 3 short to mid-range missiles and that the missiles are on launch pads ready for launch.
