SEOUL (Reuters): South Korea's presidential office believes North Korea could test an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) as soon as Monday (March 14), local media reported, citing an unnamed source.

Tensions on the Korean peninsula have been rising amid growing signs that Pyongyang could soon follow through on its threats to restart testing ICBMs, breaking a self-imposed 2017 moratorium.
