Kim Jong Un warns again with the use of nuclear weapons

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said Peniani would not hesitate to launch a nuclear attack if an enemy's “provokes us with nuclear weapons”, state media reported on Thursday.

Kim made these comments during a meeting with soldiers working at the army's missile base and congratulated them on the launch of intercstrian ballistics from Peniani earlier this week, state news agency KCNA reported.

He said testing the missile proved the loyalty and strong position of the armed forces, and that it was a “a clear explanation of the development of the DPS nuclear strategy and doctrine not to hesitate to launch a nuclear attack when the enemy provokes”, according to the KCNA.

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is short of the official name North.

On Monday, North Korea launched the Hwason-18 missile into the sea The ICBM during a training aimed at warning the United States and South Korea of confrontational steps. As a reason for this, North Korea cited a recent meeting between the United States and South Korea to talk about curbing its nuclear plans.

The United States, South Korea and Japan have criticised North Korea's missile testing as provocation and saying it violated many UN Security Council resolutions banning ballistic activities from the North.

Two days later, long - range American bombers conducted joint exercises with Japanese and South Korean warplanes in force against North Korea.

The B-1B bomber is able to carry a huge shipment of conventional weapons. In the past, North Korea has named the American bomber's flight over the Korean Peninsula as evidence of American hostility and has responded by conducting missile tests. /rel/
