Donald Trump fired 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at Syria in response to Bashar al-Assad’s brutal gas attacks on civilians.
Many military experts believe this was also a warning to North Korea, who have clashed many times with the US over their nuclear programme.
North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un has previously promised to reduce the US “to ashes” and is believed to possess an ICBM which could devastate US heartland.
After being advised to assassinate the tubby tyrant, Trump’s first act has been to deploy a navy strike group, consisting of the USS Carl Vinson, to the peninsula.
This is the same unit that participated in attack drills on North Korea.
But North Korea has issued a chilling response to this, promising to counter “with force”.
According to a statement read out on his propaganda news agency, the KCNA: “Some forces are loud-mouthed that the recent US military attack on Syria is on action of warning us but we are not afraid of it.”
Kim previously hit out at the strikes as an “undisguised act of aggression”.
He also insisted that they showed North Korea’s need for an even bigger nuclear arsenal as a war deterrent.
