The South Korean spy agency said that it didn't believe North Korea had completely fueled its test missile because there were only 40 fuel tanks around the launch site -- not enough for a weapon estimated at 65 tons.

Stormy weather over the area on Tuesday may also delay any imminent test of the missile according to South Korean sources. The Meteorological Administration said that rain was expected into Wednesday morning.
The 116-foot long Taepodong-2 has an estimated range of 9,300 miles.
