North Korea may test improved ICBM, says US military official

Washington D.C. [USA], March 17 (ANI): A senior US military official on Wednesday revealed that North Korea is contemplating to begin flight testing an improved design of its inter-continental ballistic missiles.
According to NHK World, Air Force General Glen VanHerck made the comment in a testimony for the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday.
