TOKYO (Sputnik) - North Korea may hold another missile launch or conduct a nuclear test around October 10, the Party Foundation Day, Japanese broadcaster NHK reported on Saturday, citing sources in the government of Japan.
The Japanese government believes new provocations, including missile launches or nuclear tests, could be expected before or immediately after October 10, according to NHK.
In 2016, Pyongyang launched a missile on October 15, five days after the holiday. In 2006, North Korea conducted its first test of a nuclear weapon also around this day.
