Voice of America (via Bpb-Newsletter) berichtet, das Pentagon habe in einem Brief an Kongressabgeordnete mitgeteilt, es sei nicht möglich, das nordkoreanische Atomwaffenarsenal „nur“ aus der Luft heraus zu zerstören – zwingend notwendig hierfür sei eine Bodenoffensive: „The only way for the U.S. to discover the extent of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal and destroy it is through a ground invasion. The Pentagon made that assertion in a letter to lawmakers who wanted to know about the logistics and human cost of any conflict with North Korea.” (jw)
