A report says North Korea may be ready to test an intermediate range missile within the next several days.

Worldwide defense magazine ‘Jane’s Defense Weekly’ said that satellite images are indicating there has been increased activity spotted in North Korea which suggest it is preparing for a missile launch, adding that the communist state could be ready to test fire a missile before the end of February.

The magazine also said that should the North proceed with a missile launch, it is highly likely it would be a prototype Daepodong Two intermediate range missile.
