A U.S. think tank has said there is a 78 percent likelihood North Korea will conduct another missile test within a month.
 
The Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies(CSIS) made the prediction in a report on Wednesday, based on its big data analysis of the regime’s previous nuclear and missile tests.
 
In the report, which was released after the North’s missile launch on Wednesday, the CSIS also said the chance the regime will test a missile in the next 14 days is 55 percent.
 
The center based its predictions on the upcoming closure of the ongoing annual joint military exercises between South Korea and the U.S., and the U.S.-China summit slated for later this week.
 
It also pointed out April 15th is the birthday of North Korea’s founder Kim Il-sung. The North celebrated the day last year with a missile launch attempt, and showcased an intercontinental ballistic missile during a military parade on April 15th of 2012.
