The US is bolstering its missile defense systems with new interceptors after recent threats of a nuclear attack by North Korea.
The United States will deploy additional ground-based missile interceptors on the West Coast as part of efforts to enhance the nation's ability to defend itself from attack by North Korea,
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has announced the addition of 14 interceptors in Alaska to the US-based missile defense system, a nearly 50% increase in defense capability.
The new interceptors, added to the 30 already installed in California and Alaska, will improve the US' ability to shoot down missiles in flight before they reach the US.
Mr Hagel said the US is also working with Japan to deploy new radar systems from Japan that could better track and provide warning of any missile launched by the Communist regime.
In the past year under the regime of leader Kim Jong-Un North Korea has conducted three nuclear tests and successfully launched a satellite into orbit - the same technology needed to launch a long-range missile.
