Pyongyang tests medium-range missile
PYONGYANG – North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un appears to be once again on the warpath with the launch of the Hwasong-12 yesterday.

The Hwasong-12, on the other hand, can hit the US naval base on Guam, 3400 kilometers away. What does the Stalinist regime hope to achieve by stirring the war drum and how much should the West be concerned?
