South Korea has confirmed that North Korea has successfully created miniaturised nuclear warheads as a leading US general said it is only a matter of time before Pyongyang builds long-rang missiles capable of hitting America and Japan.
General Vincent Brooks told the Senate Armed Services Committee in Washington that North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un was determined to build rockets that could target the United States.
He said: ‘It’s very clear through the parades that they’ve done, what systems they have and some of the attempted launches that … over time, I believe we’re going to see them acquire these capabilities if they’re not stopped.’
Last month North Korean media published images showing Kim standing next to what it said was a miniaturised weapon.
Miniaturisation is achieved when the nuclear warhead weighs less than 2,200lb and the diameter of the bomb measures 35 inches or less.
Kim was also quoted as saying: ‘We must always be ready to fire our nuclear warheads at any time.’
