North Korea may be preparing for nuclear tests and the launch of a missile capable of reaching the United States.

North Korea has completed preparations for its seventh nuclear test. It is likely that a long-range ballistic missile capable of reaching U.S. territory is being readied for launch.

This is indicated by intelligence data from South Korea, as reported by RBK-Ukraine citing AP.

According to South Korean intelligence, North Korea has likely finished preparations for the seventh nuclear test and is close to conducting a long-range missile test. This missile is capable of reaching the territories of the United States.

Additionally, intelligence has revealed that some advanced units of the North Korean military sent to Russia have arrived at the front. They are preparing to advance into the Kursk region, where Russia has faced difficulties in repelling the Ukrainian invasion.

Intelligence believes that North Korea has completed preparations for a nuclear test at its testing site in the northeastern city of Punggye-ri. The detonation itself will likely take place in tunnel No. 3. It is worth noting that North Korea conducted its sixth and most recent nuclear test in 2017.

Signs of preparation for a test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), intended to reach the continental United States, have also been observed. Preparations will involve the positioning of the carrier rocket and the missile, with the test possibly occurring sometime in November.

Nuclear Threats from North Korea and Russia

Earlier, we reported that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin "offered" to expand the list of conditions for the use of nuclear weapons. In this way, he is attempting to exert pressure on Western countries and Ukraine's partners.

However, Time magazine reported that Western leaders have stopped fearing Russia's nuclear threats. They are increasingly vocal about their continued support for Ukraine.

By the end of September, North Korea decided to play along with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin's nuclear threats.

Recently, the Russian Federation began conducting nuclear drills, likely aimed at pressuring the U.S. and Ukraine's partners.
