North Korea possesses a nuclear missile that would be capable of reaching U.S. territory ‘after modernisation’, a Russian MP has claimed.
Pyongyang has told Moscow lawmakers that its current ballistic missile, with a range of 1,865miles.
(3,000kilometres), will be able to reach the US West Coast following some updates, a Russian news agency reports.
Anton Morozov, who just returned from a visit to Pyongyang, has said North Korea is preparing to launch another missile ‘in the nearest future’, and that it aims to increase the range of its rockets to 5,593miles (9,000kilometres).
Seattle is located some 5,134miles from Pyongyang, and London 5,379miles. If North Korea achieved this target, both the US and the UK is well within range.
However, ‘There was no talk about the deadline (for solving this task),’ Morozov said.
Morozov, of Russia’s nationalist Liberal-Democratic Party, added that he has seen calculations showing the missile can hit the US West Coast.
Mr Morozov also said the North Koreans told him they have technology that would allow them to bring a warhead back down to earth intact.
The Party Foundation Anniversary, in which North Koreans celebrate the founding of their ruling communist party, is due to take place today.
