The entire mainland region of the United States of America may seems to be under threat as North Korea on Wednesday completes the testing of its new powerful nuclear weapons known as intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM)
This is coming barely a week after the U.S. president Donald Trump re-list North Korea for sanctions as one of the terrorist countries.
North Korea, which also conducted its sixth and largest nuclear test in September, has fired dozens of ballistic missiles tests under its leader, Kim Jong Un, in defiance of international sanctions. The latest test was the highest and longest any North Korean missile had flown, landing in the sea near Japan.
According to sources, the new missile reached an altitude of around 4,475 km (2,780 miles) – more than 10 times the height of the International Space Station – and flew 950 km (590 miles) during its 53-minute flight.
The North Korean president Kim Jong Un shortly after the test of the new type ICBM Hwasong-15 said now we have finally realized the great historic cause of completing the state nuclear force, the cause of building a rocket power.
According to Jong Un, the North Korean has developed a strategic weapon to defend itself from the U.S. imperialists, nuclear blackmail policy and threat.
Many nuclear experts has however hinted that the Koreans are yet to prove it has mastered all technical hurdles, including the ability to deliver a heavy nuclear warhead reliably atop an ICBM, but it was likely that it soon would.
