Dictator Kim threatens the world with a nuclear weapon
North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un has said that Pyongyang will not hesitate to launch a nuclear strike if provoked by the enemy.
The Reuters publication reported this.
During a meeting with soldiers of the missile command of the armed forces about the recent exercise of launching an intercontinental ballistic missile, the North Korean dictator said that in case of nuclear provocations by the enemy, he would not hesitate to strike with nuclear weapons.
The decisive military activity being carried out was a clear explanation of the regime of offensive countermeasures and the evolution of the nuclear strategy and doctrine of the North Korea in order not to interfere even with a nuclear attack when the enemy provokes it with nuclear weapons, Kim Jong-un said.
He added that the launch of ICBMs demonstrated the armed forces' high mobility and ability to strike quickly and called for further efforts to enhance their combat capabilities.
North Korea launched a ballistic missile again
On December 18, North Korea launched a ballistic missile that flew more than 1,000 km. North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un watched this.
Reuters writes that the missile was launched from an area near Pyongyang towards the sea off the east coast of North Korea. She flew about a thousand km. The Joint Chiefs of Staff of South Korea announced this.
South Korea's National Security Council said it was a solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile. They called the launch a destabilizing act that ignored international warnings and numerous UN Security Council resolutions.
The Japanese Ministry of Defense reported that the flight lasted 73 minutes. Japan said the missile reached a maximum altitude of more than 6,000 km and fell into the sea west of Hokkaido, outside Japan's exclusive economic zone.
In July, North Korea launched a ballistic missile that lasted just under 74 minutes.
Reuters notes that such missile launches underscore North Korea's efforts to expand its arsenal with long-range weapons that can potentially reach the United States mainland.
