Asia Times, editorial - North Korea’s new ICBMs change little about threat to the US
http://www.atimes.com/article/north-koreas-new-icbms-change-little-threat-us/
"Much of South Korea has been within range of Pyongyang’s artillery, unguided rockets, and short-range missiles, for some time. Indeed, such threats against Seoul and its huge metropolitan surroundings have existed for many years. As for Japan, North Korea has long had the ability to deliver some type of warhead to much of the island nation. However,** without a reliable re-entry vehicle to protect a nuclear device during re-entry into the atmosphere**, a missile of any longer range adds little to the threat level for Seoul or Tokyo."
