"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - North Korea's latest test of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) has shown that Pyongyang now may be able to reach most of the continental United States, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Monday."
'Davis added that while the test missile had a lofted trajectory rather than the more direct one required to reach the United States, the military takes the threat seriously. ', "North Korea said on Saturday it had conducted another successful test of an ICBM that proved its ability to strike America's mainland."
'Independent weapons experts also said they believed the launch demonstrated many parts of the United States were within range if the missile had been launched at a flattened trajectory. '
'The Pentagon declined to comment on the U.S. assessment of the missile launch, even as it acknowledged that the latest test represented the longest test flight of any North Korean missile. '
