US State Department: N. Korea Not Capable of Mounting Nuclear Warhead

The U.S. says North Korea is not yet capable of mounting a nuclear warhead on a ballistic missile.

U.S. State Department Spokesman John Kirby said Tuesday that Washington believes Pyongyang does not have the capability to tip one of the missiles with a nuclear warhead. 

The remarks came in response to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's New Year's address, during which he said that preparations for launching an ICBM have reached the final stage.
