North Korean army says it has final approval for nuclear attack on the US,
the official KCNA news agency says. This comes shortly after the
Pentagon said the US military prepares to deploy an advanced
missile-defense system to Guam.
"The merciless operation of (our) revolutionary armed forces in this
regard has been finally examined and ratified," AFP cited the statement
published by the local news agency.
North Korea's supreme military command has issued a statement saying it
formally notifies the White House and the Pentagon that their threats
would be "smashed by... cutting-edge smaller, lighter and diversified
nuclear strike means".
In a statement published by the official KCNA news agency,
the General Staff of the Korean People's Army (KPA) said it was
formally informing Washington that reckless US threats would be "smashed
by... cutting-edge smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear strike
means".
"The merciless operation of (our) revolutionary armed forces in this
regard has been finally examined and ratified," the statement said. "The
US had better ponder over the prevailing grave situation," it added.
North Korea had threatened a "pre-emptive" nuclear strike against the
United States a month ago, and last week the supreme army command
ordered its strategic rocket units to combat status for strikes on the
US mainland and US bases in Guam and Hawaii.
"The moment of explosion is approaching fast," Thursday's statement
said, adding that a war could break out on the Korean peninsula "today
or tomorrow".
If NK does nothing, they will have lost all credibility not only in
the outside world but within as well which could make things even more
dicey. Never have we heard such threats from North Korea before. Not
in my lifetime. -Mort
