[%%IMAGE1%%]<p>The US Army estimates that North Korea possesses up to 60 nuclear warheads. According to a recent US Army report, “North Korean Tactics,” North Korea’s arsenal has anywhere between 20 and 60 nuclear warheads as well as the world’s third largest stockpile of chemical weapons. The report added that Pyongyang has the ability to produce six new nuclear bombs per year, with some experts predicting its arsenal will hold up to 100 warheads by the end of 2020. The US’ estimates align with South Korea’s. Back in 2018, then South Korean Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon announced the estimate of between 20 and 60 nuclear weapons.</p>
