Missile interceptor test planned as tensions rise between U.S., North Korea

The Pentagon is ready to test a missile interceptor, according to the U.S. Missile Defense Agency on Tuesday.


Rear Admiral Jon Hill, deputy director of the agency, told a gathering at "Missile Defense Day" on Capitol Hill the training would take place "later this month," Bloomberg reported.

But Hill denied any connection to the planned test and North Korea's recent missile provocations.
