The US Air Force says that it will go through with the test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile on Tuesday. The launch was postponed by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel in April due to tensions with the DPRK.
The test missile called the "Minuteman 3" will be launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. It is expected to travel more than 6,000 kilometres towards the Kwajalein Atoll in the Pacific Ocean.
