A new research published in the 38 North website shows what the potential effect of the nuclear war between the US and North Korea could mean for Seoul and Tokyo. The two metropolis cities which are at a very high risk of being destroyed during the war with North Korea.

Mr. Michael Zagurek Jr came up with the analysis and said that if Kim Jong-un were to launch a nuclear attack on Seoul and Tokyo - as many as 2.1 million people stand to lose their lives and another 7.7 million people will be injured according to the new report.

The report has been prepared keeping in mind the current nuclear arsenal that North Korea has at their disposal. Zagurek is a consultant who specializes in databases and computer modeling. In his report, Zagurek has estimated that North Korea has 20 to 25 nuclear warheads and the capability to fit them onto ballistic missiles.

It is also possible that North Korea may attempt another nuclear test that has the range to strike close to US bases in Guam which could provoke a reaction from the US.
