As the U.S. Secretary of State pushes for diplomacy, experts say a North Korean missile strike on Hawaii is still highly unlikely. CNN reported in 2017, North Korea fired 23 missiles during 16 tests. It's most recent one in November flew higher and farther than the others, but a leading analyst at the East West Center says North Korea still hasn't perfected accuracy. "Up until now, we can tell by the test results of what they've done, that today there is no risk of North Korea hitting Hawaii with a nuclear missile," said Denny Roy. Roy believes it's too big of a risk for Kim Jong-Un to attack the U.S. because our country's military power outmatches North Korea. "It would quickly lead to the destruction of the world for the North Korean leaders," said Roy. "Their regime and their personal, physical safety would be lost."
