North Korea has the capability to launch a nuclear warhead 1,250 miles to reach Taiwan and parts of Russia, it has been claimed.
A South Korean official said they believe the outcast nation is capable of firing a medium-range Rodong missile following its fourth nuclear test this year.
The Rodong missile can fire a 1 tonne warhead a distance of up to 1,250 miles, the official said, placing all of South Korea, most of Japan and parts of Russia and China in range.
The anonymous official said: ‘We believe they have the ability to mount a nuclear warhead on a Rodong. Whether they will fire it like that is a political decision.’
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said last month that his country had miniaturized nuclear warheads to mount on ballistic missiles.
