A former NASA scientist has warned that North Korea is just one mistake away from sparking World War Three. 'North Korea is putting considerable faith in the guidance systems of these missiles,' he added. North Korean state media said the latest test missile was launched from a newly developed vehicle and that the warhead could withstand the pressure of re-entering the atmosphere. Kim Jong-un declared North Korea to be a nuclear state following the country's latest missile test, which took place around 3am Wednesday on Korea time. North Korea said the missile reached an altitude of around 2,780 miles - more than 10 times the height of the international space station - and was deliberately fired upwards to limit the range.
