Called the Hwasong-15, experts believe that this new type of intercontinental ballistic missile could possibly reach Washington and the entire eastern US seaboard. North Korea claims the intercontinental ballistic missile is ‘significantly more’ powerful than previous missiles even as analysts concurred that North may have made a jump in missile capability with the Hwasong-15. Wednesday’s test suggests that progress has been made by North Korea in developing a weapon of mass destruction that could likely strike the US mainland.
