The United States has been backing away from statements that North Korea has nuclear-capable missiles. The DEFCON Warning System has found, however, such statements to be carefully phrased and thus continues to advise the public to assume that North Korea has deliverable weapons until more hard data becomes available. Additionally, we caution the public against complacency or burn out from constant and continual North Korean threats. The situation in the Korean theatre remains hostile and the chance for misinterpretation, miscalculation, or error remains extremely high. While North Korea is unlikely to initiate any direct offensive action at this time, the psychological profile of North Korea also indicates a propensity to react with extreme force against any perceived threat, real or imagined. Therefore, the DEFCON alert condition will likely remain at Yellow through the end of April.
