North Korea may test ICBM around Nov. 5 U.S. Poll, South Korean lawmakers claim

North Korea has set a launcher ready to test an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) around the time of U.S. presidential election, news organisations have reported citing South Korean law-makers.

The ICBM test by North Korean is reportedly to highlight its strategic weapon development, according to South Korean officials.

North Korea has always been in news, mostly for weapon tests. A natural ally of Russia, it displays a logger-head approach with the U.S. and its Western allies. To the dislike of the U.S. and the West, it is now in news for sending troops to Russia to fight against Ukraine.
