North Korea May Fire a Missile at Hawaii “…the South Korean government is bracing for ‘all possible scenarios’ regarding the nuclear standoff. The independent International Crisis Group think tank, meanwhile, said the North’s massive stockpile of chemical weapons is no less serious a threat to the region than its nuclear arsenal. It said the North is believed to have between 2,500 and 5,000 tons of chemical weapons, including mustard gas, phosgene, blood agents and sarin. These weapons can be delivered with ballistic missiles and long-range artillery and are ‘sufficient to inflict massive civilian casualties on South Korea.'”
