North Korean leader Kim Jong-un said on Sunday that the country is in the final stages of test-firing an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of carrying nuclear warheads. The North’s KN-08 road-mobile ICBM with a range of more than 10,000 kilometers is capable, in theory, of hitting targets on the U.S. mainland. In his verbal New Year’s message broadcast by the state-run TV station, the young leader also said the North has become a powerful state with nuclear weapons last year, boosted by the success of its hydrogen bomb and nuclear warhead explosion tests.
