South Korea’s Defense Minister Ahn Gyu-back said Thursday that North Korea is generally estimated to possess 80 to 120 nuclear warheads, a range significantly above President Donald Trump‘s estimate of 57.
Ahn Gyu-back disclosed to lawmakers that North Korea is generally believed to have around 80 to 120 warheads. However, he cautioned that it was challenging to state an exact figure. “We usually see it as around 80 to 120, but it is considerably limited to state an exact number,” Ahn told a parliamentary committee, according to Reuters.
