The U.S. military has verified that North Korea has a missile capable of striking anywhere on the U.S. mainland.

The Hwaseong-15 intercontinental ballistic missile has an estimated range of 8,000 miles, U.S. Forces Korea certified in its 2019 Strategic Digest, making it "capable of striking any part" of U.S. mainland territory. The digest confirmed the claims of North Korea and the concerns of analysts who had estimated the Hwaseong-15 to be the country's longest range missile to date.

North Korea claimed the missile, first tested on November 29, 2017, had reached an altitude of 2,780 miles, putting it well above the International Space Station. It reportedly flew 590 miles before landing in the sea near Japan's exclusive economic zone.
