Pentagon: Inaccurate to Say North Korea Has Nuclear-Armed Missiles

North Korea preparing for fourth nuclear test: South
North Korea appears to be preparing a fourth nuclear test as well as a provocative missile launch, South Korea said Monday, despite an unusually blunt call from China for restraint.

The United States has deployed a sophisticated radar off the coast of Japan capable of tracking North Korean missiles and has sent a second destroyer to the region, officials said Tuesday.
