North Korea Claims New Missile Makes It A Nuclear Power
Independent analysts agree that the North's latest ICBM could reach as far as the U.S. Eastern Seaboard, though some questions remain.
North Korea says a new intercontinental ballistic missile tested on Wednesday proves it has a nuclear deterrent that can reach any target in the United States.
According to a statement from the Korean Central News Agency, the ICBM is capable of carrying a "super-large heavy warhead, which is capable of striking the whole mainland of the U.S."
The missile was launched in the early morning hours.
