North Korea expressed readiness for war with the U.S.
The attaché of the North Korean Embassy in Russia for defense issues, Kim Yong Jing, said that Pyongyang is ready to respond to an all-out war with an all-out war if the U.S. unleashes hostilities against North Korea.
"Today the U.S. is engaged in fomenting a nuclear war on the Korean peninsula. Should the U.S. commit a reckless provocation, the Korean armed forces will respond to the provocation and will be responding with an all-out war to an all-out war and a nuclear strike to a nuclear war," the diplomat said at a reception marking the 85th anniversary of the establishment of the Korean People's Army.
"The science and technology in the defense sector of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea have reached a new level. We are making super modern weapons of our own model: high-precision, light, unmanned and intellectual. We have a more potent weapon than a hydrogen bomb: unanimity and unity of the whole army," the attaché continued.
Earlier, it was reported that North Korea is ready to inflict a "super-powered preventive strike" on the mainland of the United States. This is how North Korea reacted to the words of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson that the U.S. is looking for a way to increase pressure on the North Korean state to force it to curtail its nuclear program, writes the official newspaper of the DPRK Labor Party, Rodong Sinmun.
On April 19, the U.S. Secretary of State said that the United States is considering the possibility of returning North Korea to the list of sponsors of terrorism. According to him, there is a search for ways to make the regime in Pyongyang cooperate, as well as to curtail its nuclear program.
