Speaking on Wednesday before the South Korean parliament, the minister said that the probability of launching missiles Pyongyang is very high. According to him, the DPRK may use missile "Musudan" with a range of about 3.5 thousand kilometers, launchers which were previously seen on the east coast of North Korea.

Eun Bin Xie added that Seoul has asked Moscow and Beijing to try to contain Pyongyang from provocative actions. According to the agency, the South Korean and U.S. forces on Wednesday were moved to high alert.

A greater probability of North Korean missile launch was also reported in the U.S. administration. According to an anonymous source CNN, Pyongyang may use one of the mobile launchers. According to him, in contrast to previous tests DPRK authorities can not prevent civilian vessels and aircraft.
