Following Kim Jong-un's declaration that North Korea is a "fully-fledged nuclear power", the country has now warned that it may strike at any moment in its self-defense and the attack would be on an unprecedented scale.
Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop earlier in the day said she had received a letter from the North Korean dictator, addressed to different countries, which said, "It will be a big miscalculation and an expression of ignorance if US President Donald Trump thinks that he would bring North Korea, a nuclear power, to its knees through nuclear war threat."
Blaming US and its president for pushing the world towards the Third World War by his foolish acts, a KCNA released said Trump is being seen as a 'dangerous element', has aroused worldwide derision and even his key confidants are dumping him.
"As the aggressors and provokers have become all the more undisguised in their hysteric war frenzy, the DPRK's appropriate actions for self-defense will be taken any moment as a strike beyond imagination," the KCNA release announced.
Targeting the joint US-South Korea naval drills, North Korea said its repeated tough offensives had put US in despair and horror dealing a heavy blow to the world's only superpower and the US could no longer help the South Korean puppet forces.
"The South Korean puppet forces should clearly understand that already in hand are the toughest countermeasure of Korean style to cope with the US' reckless military act," the KCNA release further said. The war of words between US and North Korea has seen regular war rhetoric but its intensity has really gone up after North Korea's successful nuclear capable ICBM test and hydrogen bomb detonation.
What has irked the Trump administration even more that North Korea did all this despite a clear warning that US would never allow the country to have an ICBM or a hydrogen bomb.
Reports have emerged that US has put its nuclear bombers on 24-hour alert to meet any emergency, a first since the Cold War days. Trump revealed in a Fox News interview yesterday, "You would be shocked to see how totally prepared we are if we need to be."
