Page 8 - War Head News Today

Standing in front of a war head they said could go loaded on toe a plastballistic missile. if p they do proceed with a launch this would be them saying we have the war head, tested it, have the missile. to deliver it, and depending on the trajectory, where they actually launch it, if they launch if it in a southern direction potentially towards the u.s. territory of guam it would be a highly provocative launch. even more so than last week. frightening a lot of people. then that new tweet just mi...

Korean perspective and conversations ive had, there is no way in hell theyre going to give up these nuclear weapons. they have it written into their constitution since 2013 that theyre going to be a nuclear po power. they are basking in h the glory. they are getting ready to launch another icbm to make the point they have the war head and missile. it its certainly a strong message. >> gentlemen thank you very much for your expertise: we do have to get to other breaking news because hurricane irm...

Breakthrough allergies with allegra®. welcome back to seoul, im kristie lu stout where we are monitoring claims that north korea successfully tested a hydrogen bomb. theyve been working on icbms for quite some time now they claimed last year they had a miniature war head they could fit on a ballistic missile. it showed a spear cal device but whether it was a nuclear bomb thats unclear and then last year the north claimed to have successfully detonated a nuclear war head. and then in july the ...

Judgment. i will say if we have not tested it now, the way the program is progressing, the deliberateness of it, if they dont have it now, theyll have it shortly. >> it sounds like once the experts take the data theyll be aebl to get it. and then comes the second claim, if this is a hydrogen bomb, would they be able to put it on an icbm? >> they have shown pictures. there was a picture of kim jong-un in front of the war head together with what seemed like the cone of a missile. again, that is di...

Koreans saying they successfully tested a hydrogen bomb. as we have, you know, suspected and has been confirmed prior to the north korean statement. where are we at now? the fact of the matter is, whether or not it was successful. they say it was successful. we know every time that north korea carries out these tests, ballistic missile or nuclear tests they learn something more and their programs jump further ahead. >> yeah, and i think one of the keynotes in that announcement is they are talkin...

International correspondent christiane amanpour. if this nuclear program for kim is about self-preservation the challenge for the rest of the world is try to convince him to abandon something he equates with survival. >> yeah. the challenge is a very real one but the most important thing to keep in mind, especially for you all over in the united states, is that the key development today is not just in the nuclear realm, its in the fact that they say its a militarized war head that they have succ...

North korea. north korea also saying that this weapon that they tested is specifically to perfect the kind of miniaturized war head that they would place in an intercontinental ballistic missile, the kind of icbm that they launched twice in the month of july, most recently at the end of july. also the kind of war head that could potentially fit on their intermediate-range ballistic missile, thats the hwasong-12 they launched this week on tuesday in north korea. so essentially what north korea is...

Weeks? >> the next step -- just a few weeks ago the intelligence agency came out with a new report saying north korea did have the ability to miniaturize a nuclear weapon and put it on top of a war head. photos emerged from north korea showing kim jong-un inspecting what looked like a thermonuclear device, an h-bomb. and with the report from state media saying they were ready to put this weapon on a warhead, however, the photos were from a lab, not an actual missile. the intelligence agencies ha...

Filled in, well be able to get a much better estimate of the yield of the device. it was higher than any device tested in the past by several times over. it looks like its somewhere between four and ten times as large as previous tests. it may not be a staged device, a two-stage device but its certainly much more powerful and its a major advance. >> you talk about the power here because todays test produced a seismic event of 6.3 magnitude. so what does that tell you about how north koreas capab...

Warhead to fit on an icbm, if that is, in fact, true, as christiane said, we are out of time. we have to deal with the reality that in very short order the north koreans will have a deliverable nuclear weapon that can reach the united states. i was not surprised by this announcement. theyve been working toward this all along. its miniaturization that is becoming the issue and they seemed to have mastered that. they talked about that a few weeks ago and have shown it to us today. >> yeah, as the ...
