The Obama administration has decided to add 14 interceptors on the West Coast to the US-based missile defence system in response to recent threats from North Korea to attack the US with nuclear weapons.

US officials believe North Korea is incapable of carrying out an attack, but the threat adds to bilateral tensions.

Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel plans to announce the decision later on Friday. It was first reported by Fox News.

Defence officials confirmed the decision on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to discuss it publicly.

Adding the interceptors to the 30 in place in California and Alaska will beef up the ability to shoot down missiles in flight. The defence system has existed since 2004.
