U.S. says it's confident it can deter North Korean missiles

The United States is confident it can fully deter incoming North Korean missiles despite the increased volume of threats from Pyongyang about a future launch.


U.S. State Department spokesman Justin Higgins told Yonhap news agency Sunday the "United States is capable of defending against a North Korean ballistic missile attack."


"Our recent success in returning to test the upgraded version of the ground-based interceptor will keep us on a good trajectory to improve our defensive capability against limited ballistic missile threats, such as that from North Korea," Higgins said. "We are continuing to upgrade our ballistic missile defense capability."

Higgins said North Korea should return to negotiations while meeting its international obligations to neither test ballistic missiles nor conduct nuclear tests, according to the report.
