Open confrontation on the Korean peninsula can lead to irreversible consequences. According to Western experts, this will result in death in Japan and South Korea at least 2 million people and nearly 8 million victims. According to the employee of the Institute of the USA and Korea at the Johns Hopkins University Michael Zagurek, the above figures are justified. They are the result of conducted research, taking into account the number of nuclear warheads currently in the arsenal of the North Korean regime, - reports site 38 North. In addition, a nuclear strike on Seoul and the capital of the Land of the Rising Sun, will cause radiation and chemical contamination in a fairly decent territory. And how much in this case a person will suffer or die as a result of radiation sickness and other related diseases, according to experts, it remains only to guess. According to experts, to date, Pyongyang's arsenal has 25 nuclear warheads capable of achieving the anticipated targets in a matter of minutes. Since 2011 year. North Korea conducted about a hundred ballistic missile tests, constantly modifying them. July 4 and July 28, 2017, Pyongyang for the first time launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) ballistic missile capable of reaching the US. What brought Washington and the owner of the White House, Donald Trump, into a rage.

As the American edition of The Independent wrote the day before, according to the estimates of US military analysts, in the event of an armed conflict between the United States and the DPRK, its victims will daily become about 20,000 civilians in South Korea.
