The US is under more pressure to accept the idea that North Korea is a nuclear state with the ability to compel security and economic concessions because of the South Korean authorities' claims that Kim may conduct a nuclear test in the coming weeks or months. According to the Korean Central News Agency, the two missiles utilized in Wednesday's tests flew for more than three hours while tracing oval and figure-eight patterns above the country's western waters, showcasing their capacity to reach targets up to 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles) distant. According to the organization, the testing proved that the weapon system, which has already been used in army units employing "tactical" battlefield nuclear weapons, is precise and effective in conducting wars. Following the tests, Kim praised the preparedness of his nuclear fighting forces, declaring that they were completely prepared for a genuine conflict and were capable of defeating adversaries with a single strike utilizing a range of "mobile, precise, and powerful" weapons, the article added.
