Newsweek:
North Korea has advanced its missile development program to the point where it could strike the U.S. mainland with an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), a top U.S. general has confirmed.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Joseph Dunford, made the claim as he appeared before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday as part of his reappointment process.
Among the questions Dunford faced about the state of the U.S. armed forces and global threats, Senator Deb Fischer asked for an assessment of the ballistic threat Pyongyang presents to the homeland, following its multiple recent ICBM tests.
