The newspaper quoted lawmakers attending a closed-door meeting as saying that BND Deputy Director Ole Diehl had confirmed that the assessment was "certain."
At the same time, Mr. Diehl also said that the BND assessed the dialogue between North Korea and South Korea as a positive sign.
BND has not yet commented on this information.
North Korea is pursuing its nuclear and missile programs in defiance of UN Security Council sanctions, and has made no secret of its plans to develop a missile capable of hitting the United States./.
