North Korea’s weapons and military capabilities are more dangerous than previously thought, experts say, and the country is improving them across the board.

Last week, it was reported that the country had developed an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of delivering a nuclear payload to the US mainland. Only a crucial insulation issue remained to be solved to make the device truly threatening.

Now, a South Korean official has repeated the warning about the North’s missile capabilities, a Korean think tank is reporting that their neighbor’s ability to engage in special operations warfare has improved and North Korea has announced that it is developing a long-range aerial drone.

Director General of the North Korean Nuclear Affairs Bureau in South Korea Lee Sang-haw said in a government briefing that the missiles could travel much farther than previously thought, and that “Europe is also within range,” as well as other NATO countries. North Korea’s KN-08 missile, which is under development, is expected to have a range of more than 7,500 miles, the Daily Star Online reported December 17.

No more detail was offered. A senior South Korean official told the Daily Star that he couldn’t go into precise detail about classified information. “There are different assessments of North Korea’s ballistic missile capabilities, but what is for sure is as they repeat tests, they learn something important,” he would say.
