The missile has an effective range that can reach the U.S. West Coast and even the United Kingdom.September 14, 2017The Japanese military claimed Thursday that the missile launchers North Korea is now moving are loaded with Hwasong-14 missiles capable of reaching the U.S. or United Kingdom. The Hwasong-14 is the intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM, test launched tice earlier this summer, which is thought to have an effective range of more than 6,200 miles. Alaska is only 3,500 miles away, while Hawaii is less than 4,700 miles away, and the U.S. mainland is about 5,000 miles away—well within the missile’s range. The distance to the UK is about 5,400 miles. Japanese media, following the North’s threats to “sink” the entire Japanese archipelago under the sea, are reporting the missile is already fueled and ready to launch immediately. The move could be retaliation for the latest round of UN sanctions, which the Korean propaganda machine lashed out at on Wednesday. Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary, Yoshihide Suga, responded: - Quote :
- "This announcement is extremely provocative and egregious. It is something that markedly heightens regional tension and is absolutely unacceptable."
