Kim Jong Un could test a new missile tonight in order to coincide with the Columbus Day holiday in America, it is feared.
The test would also come ahead of the founding anniversary of North Korea’s ruling party, which is due to take place on Tuesday.
Russian lawmaker Anton Morozov warned last week that Kim was preparing another launch ‘in the nearest future’ after returning from Pyongyang.
Kim often times weapon tests to coincide with American public holidays.
The dictator launched the country’s first ICBM on the 4th of July, calling it a ‘gift for the American b*******.’
Mr Morozov, of the nationalist Liberal-Democratic Party, said on Friday that he has seen calculations showing the missile could hit the US West Coast.
He added that the North Koreans claimed to have technology that would allow them to bring a nuclear warhead back down to earth intact.
The news comes after President Trump discussed the North Korean situation with military leaders on Thursday, describing the moment as ‘the calm before the storm’.
When quizzed by reporters about what he meant, Trump said: ‘You’ll find out.’
The news also comes after Kim threatened to tame Donald Trump ‘with fire’ after the President threatened to ‘totally destroy’ North Korea in a speech to the UN.
In an unprecedented personal address to President Trump, Kim said the US would ‘pay dearly’ adding that North Korea ‘will consider with seriousness exercising of a corresponding, highest level of hard-line countermeasure in history.’
