SKorea: NKorea may have miniaturized nuke warhead (AP)

SEOUL, South Korea ? A news report says South Korea's defense chief believes North Korea may be able to load a nuclear warhead atop a missile.

North Korea conducted two nuclear tests in 2006 and 2009 and is thought to have enough plutonium for at least a half-dozen weapons. But experts doubt whether the North has mastered the miniaturization technology to mount a nuclear warhead on a missile.

Yonhap news agency says Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin told lawmakers Monday there is a "high possibility" the North may have developed such a miniaturized nuclear warhead.

Yonhap reports that Kim said his belief is just an "assumption" and he has no substantive evidence.

The Defense Ministry couldn't immediately confirm Kim's comments.
