North Korea sarin threat: Japan warns of chemical weapon missile risk | Daily Star ARMED AND DANGEROUS: The Japanese PM said KIm could launch a sarin missile attack

Shinzo Abe said today that the nuke-mad nation may have the capacity to launch a warhead armed with sarin.

That’s the same nerve agent used by Bashar al-Assad to gas his own people in Khan Shaykhun, Syria.

At least 74 people died in the attack, which led to the US bombing a Syrian government base.

Now Mr Abe fears that his country, which is well within range of Kim’s missiles, could be hit with it.

"There is a possibility that North Korea is already capable of delivering a warhead containing sarin," he said.

Japan is no stranger to the toxic gas, which is so deadly that it’s generally considered a weapon of mass destruction.

In 1995, the Tokyo subway was targeted by members of the Aum Shinrikyo cult who used sarin to kill 12 people and injured thousands. 

Mr Abe made his warning at a meeting of Japan’s parliamentary diplomacy and defence committee, reported by broadcaster NHK.

It’s been predicated that North Korea will detonate a nuclear weapon to mark the Day of the Sun this Saturday.

The day is the state's biggest national holiday and commemorates Kim Jong-un’s grandfather, Kim Il-sung.
