US, Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper accuses "Pyongyang of producing fissile material and develop a submarine-launched ballistic missiles. Clapper told a US Senate committee late on Tuesday.
North Korea's recent missile and nuclear activity has alarmed its regional neighbours, in particular South Korea and Japan, and provoked warnings from the US, China, and the United Nations.
Clapper also told the senators during his report on the annual Worldwide Threat Assessment that Pyongyang is supposedly trying to develop a mobile, long-range, nuclear missile system - though it had "not been flight-tested".
The restart of the plutonium reactor at the Yongbyon facility meant that Pyongyang "could begin to recover plutonium from the reactor's spent fuel within a matter of weeks to months", the threat assessment said.
