 Kim Jong-un's nuclear missiles 'could reach LONDON' as North Korea launches test that lands in Japanese waters

 The launch was meant as a 'stern warning' for the United States, North Korea's state agency said

 Kim Jong-un 's nuclear missiles could reach London, experts claim.
North Korea tested an intercontinental ballistic missile on Friday that, for the first time, appeared capable of reaching US mainland - a milestone that American presidents have long declared will not be tolerated.
The launch, the second of an intercontinental missile in 24 days, was meant as a 'stern warning' for the United States, North Korea 's state news agency said.
The ICBM, which aimed for 'maximum distance', flew for 47 minutes and 12 seconds while travelling 998km and reaching a maximum altitude of 3,724.9km.
Experts also warn major European cities, such as London, Paris, Berlin and Rome are all within reach of the missiles.

Kim Jong-un has not expressed a wish to target mainland Europe.

   the Italian parliament approved legislation allowing Italian military vessels to patrol Libyan waters in order to stem the flow of migrants entering Italy. This is the latest in a series of initiatives and proposals by the Italian government to block the Mediterranean migrant route, including the recent introduction of a code of conduct curtailing the flexibility of aid groups and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to operate rescue vessels in the Mediterranean. In response to the latest measure to deploy the Italian navy, Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar of the Libyan National Army (LNA) – a militia associated with the Tobruk-based government in eastern Libya – warned that any non-commercial vessel entering Libyan waters without prior authorisation would be attacked.
