“The DPRK is about 10,400 km far away from New York, ” a North Korean state media statement said. “But this is just not a long distance for its strike today.”
A statement from North Korean state media on Monday directly addressed a Trump tweet from January that said an intercontinental ballistic missile launch from North Korea ” won’t happen! “
“The DPRK is about 10,400 km far away from New York. But this is just not a long distance for its strike today, ” the statement said, referring to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the country’s official name, and hinting it has ICBM capability.
“Trump blustered early this year that the DPRK’s final access to a nuclear weapon that can reach the US mainland will never happen, ” the statement continued. “But the strategic weapons tests conducted by the DPRK clearly proved that the time of its ICBM test is not a long way off at all.”
North Korean media often spreads propaganda and inflated claims about North Korea’s weapons’ capabilities.
