German intelligence service: North Korea missiles capable of reaching Germany and Central Europe

A senior Federal Intelligence Agency official in Germany warned that North Korea's missiles are currently capable of reaching Germany and Central Europe.


"These estimates are confirmed," deputy director of the Federal Intelligence Service Olli Dehel said in a speech to German lawmakers at a closed meeting on Sunday, quoted by European news network Euro News.


On the other hand, Dehel pointed out that the talks between North Korea and its southern counterpart is a good indicator.


A senior North Korean diplomat was on his way to Finland for talks with US and South Korean officials amid a series of diplomatic interviews ahead of the North Korea-US summit scheduled for late May.


Inter-Korean relations have improved over the past weeks after North Korea's participation in the Winter Olympics in Pyongyang last month.
