The office of outgoing President Moon Jae-in has told president-elect Yoon Suk-yeol an ICBM test by North Korea was imminent and that it would not be a surprise if it took place on Monday, a newspaper said
The South Korean government believes North Korea could test an intercontinental ballistic missile as soon as this week, domestic media said, citing unidentified sources.
Yonhap news agency said separately that both South Korea and the United States had detected signs of an upcoming test. A spokesperson for Moon’s office said Suh had briefed Yoon on North Korea’s recent movements, including recent missile launches, and the Ukraine crisis, among other issues, but declined to comment on the Chosun Ilbo report.
Seoul’s Unification Ministry handling inter-Korean affairs also urged the North to immediately halt actions that “run counter to peace and stability” on the peninsula.
