Reports from the South Korean equivalent of the CIA suggest that North Korea may be preparing a new intercontinental ballistic missile launch. ICBMs are exactly the type of missile that North Korea would need to attack Hawaii, Alaska, or the United States mainland, so any such launch would be specifically designed to threaten the U.S.

This threat is likely why, following last weekend’s North Korean nuclear test, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis warned North Korea against launching towards U.S. territories.
