North Korea will not be able to launch a ballistic missile, the Pentagon believes

The Pentagon doubts that North Korea could launch a ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead. The statement by the US defense department is reported by Reuters.

Recently, news appeared in the media that the DPRK could start a war at any moment. “It would be incorrect to say that the North Korean regime has been able to develop, test or demonstrate possession of the type of nuclear weapons described in this part of the report,” Pentagon spokesman George Little commented on the news.

In February, North Korea conducted a third nuclear test in violation of UN resolutions, which caused a strong reaction from the world community. Joint military exercises with the United States have begun in South Korea. In response, North Korea began maneuvers with its naval submarine forces and also announced that it would cancel the armistice agreement with its southern neighbor if the exercises did not stop. In March, North Korea threatened the United States with a preemptive nuclear strike , and then announced that it was ready for war with South Korea .
