"50% Chance for N. Korean WMD Test in 30 Days"

News2017-03-28

A U.S. think tank says there is a 50-50 chance that North Korea will launch another missile or conduct a sixth nuclear test within a month.
 
The Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies(CSIS) released its assessment in a report on Monday.

Using its big data analysis of the regime’s previous nuclear and missile tests, the CSIS also gave a 22 percent possibility that the North will commit an additional nuclear or missile provocation within two weeks.
 
The center said it rightly forecast that the North would take provocative actions during the ongoing South Korea-U.S. joint military exercises using similar big data analysis.
 
The North test-launched four ballistic missiles toward the East Sea on March sixth, six days after Seoul and Washington launched the annual Foal Eagle exercises.
