Having a nuclear weapon is an advantage of any nation, especially those acting on the bad side of major powers like the United States. While North Korea has been nuclear-capable for over a decade, it appears that the dictatorship has made a major advance in its development. The miniaturization of a nuclear warhead would allow the DPRK to place such a weapon on a ballistic missile-- which they have tested at the range of around 5,000 miles.
This is coming
from South Korea, which has been monitoring the situation tensely.
"It has been quite a while, enough time for them to have succeeded in miniaturization," he told a parliamentary defense committee.
If true, it would mark a key advance in the North's drive to develop a functioning nuclear weapon though that threat appears to be potential rather than actual.
