N. Korea gears up to celebrate birthday of country’s founder

“On the Korean Peninsula issue, it is not those who use harsher words or raise bigger fists who would win” he said.

North Korea continues to test and display ICBMs while the us has sent an aircraft carrier strike team to the region and Trump fires off threatening tweets.

“If the U.S. comes with reckless military manoeuvres then we will confront it with a pre-emptive strike”.

According to the statement, Pyongyang believes that Washington should make the right decision to settle the tense situation that has developed on the Korean peninsula.

North Korea showed off what appeared to be three long-range missiles, at least one apparently new.

“As I said, Trump is always using aggressive words – it is the USA that is threatening us”.

The missile launches have led to heightened tension on the Korean peninsula and strained relations between the US and North Korea.

The display raised concerns that North Korea has developed intercontinental ballistic missiles that would allow the country to attack the mainland US and Europe, according to CNN.

The menacing boast came as a USA aircraft carrier group headed for the region amid rising fears the secretive state is on the verge of another nuclear weapons test.

A nuclear-powered U.S. aircraft carrier group is now making its way towards the region, prompted by concerns over the regimes missile and nuclear testing in defiance of United Nations sanctions.

“This means war”, Han said.

“As long as dialogue takes place, it can be official or unofficial, through one channel or dual channels, bilateral or multilateral”.

Bermudez and his colleague Jack Liu correctly predicted the last nuclear test, in September 2016.

The Pukkuksong submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM) were also on parade. The event was held after North Korea’s latest missile test prompted the U.S.to send an aircraft carrier to the region. Officials said Trump’s tweets had also added fuel to the flames.

Trump has threatened that if Beijing isn’t willing to do more to squeeze the North, the US might take the matter into its own hands.

DPRK stands for the North’s official name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

“We will die for you”, they yelled.

US President Trump has vowed that Pyongyang would not be allowed to create a missile capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to American territory. Amid rising regional tensions, Pyongyang residents have been preparing for.

The source said: ‘News of cadres of the second army corps slandering Kim Jong-un reached all the way to the People’s Army’s General Political Bureau, and the arrested cadres are to be severely punished’.

Since taking power in late 2011, Kim Jong Un has executed or purged a slew of high-level government officials in what the South Korean government has described as a “reign of terror”. “I was not expecting to see this many new missile designs”. “Now we are comparing Trump’s policy toward the DPRK with the former administration’s and we have concluded that it’s becoming more vicious and more aggressive”. We’ll deal with it with our pre-emptive strike.

It has carried out five nuclear tests – two of them a year ago – and multiple missile launches, one of which saw several rockets come down in waters provocatively close to Japan last month. “Whatever comes from the USA, we will cope with it”.
