North Korea claimed Thursday that it has succeeded in test-firing an intermediate-range ballistic missile, saying that it has the capacity to strike US forces in the Pacific region.
The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said that the North successfully carried out the test-fire of the medium and long-range strategic ballistic missile named Hwasong-10, attended by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
"The test-fire was successfully conducted without giving any slightest effect to the security of surrounding countries," the KCNA said. "We have the sure capability to attack in an overall and practical way the Americans in the Pacific operation theater." On Wednesday, North Korea fired off what is believed to be two Musudan mid-range missiles from its east coast, making its fifth and sixth such launches since April.
The Musudan missile, with an estimated range of some 3,000 to 4,000 kilometers, could theoretically reach any target in Japan and fly as far as the US territory of Guam.
