The United States is flexing its military muscle in South Korea amid growing tensions with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un after the dictator vowed to detonate an ‘annihilating strike’ if Washington attacks, during the country’s Day of the Sun parade.

President Trump sent an aircraft carrier-led strike group to the Korean Peninsula as US officials feared the dictator would mark the national holiday by launching its sixth nuclear weapons test, since the country has used previous holidays to showcase its military prowess.

The socialist state celebrated the 105th anniversary of its founder Kim Il-Sung’s birth, where Jong-un threatened to defeat enemies with ‘nuclear justice.’

U.S. Army troops and Air Force conducted military exercises on Saturday near the border between the two countries in Paju.

On Wednesday the United States launched a surprise military exercise at the Kadena Air Base in Japan, with HH-60 Pave Hawks, F-15 Eagles, E-3 Sentries and KC-135 Stratotankers, Fox News reported.

North Korea has showed off its strength by testing two nuclear bombs and multiple missile tests in the last year.

On Saturday he told the packed-out square: ‘If the United States wages reckless provocation against us, our revolutionary power will instantly counter with annihilating strike, and we will respond to full-out war with full-out war and to nuclear war with our style of nuclear strike warfare.’

Submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM) were also among the sophisticated military hardware on show for the first time, indicating an improving technological capability that could help it evade anti-missile systems.

A total of 56 missiles of 10 different types were displayed, culminating in enormous rockets on articulated trailers and on 16-wheeler vehicles.
