North Korea “clearly” has the range to hit parts of the United States with an intercontinental ballistic missile — but not with much accuracy, a top US general said Tuesday.
North Korea “clearly” has the range to hit parts of the United States with an intercontinental ballistic missile — but not with much accuracy, a top US general said Tuesday.
Pyongyang on July 4 for the first time tested an ICBM that experts said could potentially reach parts of Alaska or Hawaii.
But General Paul Selva, who is vice chair of the Joint Chiefs of the Staff, testified he wasn’t confident North Korea has the capacity to strike the United States with any degree of accuracy.
“I do agree in principle with the assessment that the North Koreans are moving quickly to develop an intercontinental ballistic missile capability, ” Selva told the Senate Armed Services Committee.
