North Korea has tested 22 missiles since February in 2017, including two intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) thought to be cable of reaching the US mainland.
An ICBM is a guided missile with a minimum range of 5,500 km designed to deliver nuclear weapons over long distances.
Although North Korea is around 10,300 km from the US mainland, the US military chief in charge of monitoring the regime has revealed the extent of the threat.
Colonel Sean Larkin, head of the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC), has confirmed that all US mainland states are within striking distance.
Speaking to CBS News, he explained how NASIC monitors North Korea’s missile and nuclear programmes to protect the US.
Based at an air base in Ohio, Larkin and his team of experts analyse satellite imagery for clues North Korea may be about to fire a missile.
By testing ICBMs, North Korea has proved it has the capabilities to target any US state, Larkin said.
He said: “The missile tests this summer have demonstrated the ability that they could reach the US.”
When quizzed how many US states North Korea has within range, he bluntly answered: “All 48 states on the mainland.”
In July, the secretive state fired an ICBM that traveled 998 km in a “stern warning” to the US.
Larkin said that had the missile been pointed towards the US, California would have been within range.
