The potential consequences of a North Korean attack are severe. If North Korea were to attack the United States or one of its allies, it would likely face a massive military response. The United States has a large military presence in the region and would not hesitate to use its considerable firepower to defend itself and its allies. North Korea would likely be quickly defeated in any such conflict, but not before causing major damage and loss of life.<\/p>\n

If North Korea were to attack the United States or one of its allies, it would face grave consequences. The United States might respond with a devastating nuclear counterattack, leading to the annihilation of North Korea.<\/p>\n

Can North Korea hit the US with a missile? <\/h2>\n

The Hwasong-14 ballistic missile is a North Korean missile with a range of 8,000km. It is capable of reaching the US island of Guam in the Pacific, as well as the US city of New York.<\/p>\n

The North Korean government has announced that it is working on extending the range of its ICBMs. Missile experts estimate that the current range is 8,100 miles, and that a North Korean ICBM could hit the US mainland less than 30 minutes after launch. Pyongyang is more than 5,000 miles away from the US West Coast. In January 2021, Mr Kim outlined a goal of extending the flight range to about 9,300 miles. This would put the US East Coast within range of a North Korean ICBM.<\/p>\n
