« 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.
