June 25, 1950
At approximately 4 a.m. (Korean Standard Time) on a rainy Sunday morning Democratic People's Republic of Korea Army (DPRK - North Korea) artillery and mortars open fire on Republic of Korea (ROK - South Korea) Army positions south of the 38th Parallel, the line then serving as the border between the two countries. The opening barrage is followed shortly by tank/infantry attacks at all points along the Parallel. At 11 a.m. North Korea announced a formal declaration of war and what is now known as "The Korean War" officially began. In this announcement North Korea claimed ROK forces on the Ongjin Peninsula attacked North Korea in the Haeju area (west) and their declaration of war was in response to this attack. This claim was bogus.

U.S. President Harry S. Truman was notified of the invasion and returned from his home in Independence, Missouri, to Washington, D.C., arriving in early afternoon. Meanwhile the U.N. Security Council passed a resolution calling for the immediate cessation of hostilities and the withdrawal of North Korean forces to north of the 38th Parallel.

hey just wondering...could North Korean's daepo-dong2 reach as far as to Washington?

Lol, not even in dream, if they reach Tokyo. It will be quiet an achievement already.

dae po dong 1 has range of 1600~2000km

dae po dong 2 is estimated to have range of about 4000~6000 km

some sources say that dae po dong may have upto about 10000~15000 km.

but i think they are talking about when the missile is attached to another level of rocket (think about the Saturn V of USA)

Lol, not even in dream, if they reach Tokyo. It will be quiet an achievement already.

They easily reach Tokyo. In fact, Daepodong missiles can reach anywhere in Japan - some of them can reach the Alutian Islands in Alaska.

They reach as far as Alsaka!!WOW!! :runaway:

They reach as far as Alsaka!!WOW!! :runaway:


Due to the shape of earth, it's much closer from N Korea than it seems on a map.
