The US Navy has announced it has deployed its most advanced scanning and tracking technology to the Pacific in anticipation that it may need to shoot down a North Korea space rocket scheduled to launch in April.
US officials claim the rocket is an intercontinental ballistic missile and South Korea has warned they will shoot it down if it strays over their territory.
US intelligence services have produced satellite photos which they claim show that North Korea is retrofitting the rocket to carry a nuclear warhead .
