North Korea is expected to launch a long-range rocket in the next 24 to 48 hours, according to a U.S. official.
The official says that based on the amount of fuel the North Koreans have pumped into the rocket, the trajectory could be very long. The rocket is now expected to travel south by southeast, crossing over the Philippines and, if successful, splashing down in waters not far from Australia.
Many of the countries along the route have asked for U.S. assistance in tracking the missile
