International experts have accepted North Korea's claim. Pyongyang claimed on Wednesday that the entire territory of the Mark is now within its missile range after test-firing the Hwajong-15 intercontinental ballistic missile.
They also released several photos on Thursday to prove their claim. After seeing those photos, international experts say that Kim's claim is not false. This ballistic missile is really capable of hitting anywhere in the United States.
Michael Illman, a missile expert at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, said the images North Korea has released show it to be much larger and more powerful than previous missiles. "Preliminary estimates suggest that this weapon could reach anywhere in the continental United States," he said.’
It is worth noting that North Korea launched a long-range ballistic missile called Hwajong-15 early Wednesday morning local time. The missile, with a range of 13,000 kilometers, flew 4,500 kilometers and hit the Sea of Japan.
