Most analysts believe that North Korea is actually years away from developing nuclear strike capabilities, lacking advanced guidance systems, reentry vehicles, and rocket-capable nuclear warheads.
North Korea's most recent "low-yield" nuclear test demonstrates they know how to build a bomb, and their most recent rocket test puts their notional range deep enough to hit Alaska and the U.K. However, analysts say the country is a long way from being able to put the two technologies together.
"They are not there on the nuclear end and would have to have many more tests to have enough confidence that they have a reliable mode of delivery," Jim Walsh, an expert in international security and a research associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Security Studies Program, told NPR after the North's most recent rocket test.
