North Korea's leadership has told Russian lawmakers that it possesses a ballistic missile with a range of 3,000 km that will be able to reach U.S. territory after modernisation, the Interfax news agency reported on Tuesday.
Interfax cited Anton Morozov, a lawmaker and member of the lower house of parliament's international affairs committee, who visited Pyongyang from Oct. 2-6.
North Korea aims to increase the range of its ballistic missiles to 9,000 km, Mr. Morozov was quoted as saying. “There was no talk about the deadline [for solving this task],” he said.
