North Korea Reportedly Preparing for A Fifth Musudan Test This Week

It appears the North Koreans are determined to keep testing the Musudan until they get it to work:

North Korea is said to have deployed an intermediate-range missile to Wonsan, Gangwon Province on Tuesday.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff said that it is closely monitoring the North for possible missile launches.

A military official said that such preparation follows four failed test-firings of Musudan intermediate-range missiles in April and May.

The military is said to believe that the North will launch a Musudan missile as early as Tuesday or Wednesday.  [KBS World Radio]

You can read more at the link, but four of these Musudans have exploded shortly after launch.  If they keep executing these tests the North Koreans will probably through trial and error eventually get it to work.  The significance of them getting this missile to work is that they can then range US military bases on Okinawa and Guam with the Musudan.
