In Japan, they are concerned that North Korea might achieve the miniaturization of nuclear weapons, which is needed to equip missiles with nuclear warheads. This was stated by Japanese Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada during parliamentary hearings.
“We believe that they have already reached the level of miniaturization of the charge for the warhead, which might be equipped with ballistic missiles. Our country is in the affected area,” Hamada said.
North Korea has previously tested “longer-range strategic cruise missiles”. It is assumed that the DPRK is developing ever more powerful weapons capable of carrying nuclear warheads, according to the Japanese newspaper The Japan Times. During the test, the two missiles flew nearly three hours in the skies over the Yellow Sea to reach their target at a distance of 2,000 kilometers. This distance makes Japan an easy target, writes The Japan Times.
Earlier, North Korea declared itself nuclear state. Under the new law, North Korea can deliver a preemptive strike to the enemy in the event of an imminent threat, writes RT. Japan has already expressed concern over Pyongyang’s actions. At the end of September, North Korea launched a ballistic missile in the direction of the Sea of Japan.National News Service».
