North Korean state media railed against its southern neighbor Thursday for staging a joint missile drill with the US following Pyongyang’s jarring intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launch, saying it would be a “piece of cake” to destroy South Korea.
The report, published by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), decried Seoul as “puppet military gangsters,” claiming “It will be as easy as a piece of cake for the [North] to wipe out the puppet forces… as we are now able to destroy even the US mainland across the ocean.”
Pyongyang claims the Hwasong-14 ICBM, is capable of striking the “heart of the United States” with “large heavy nuclear warheads.” The ominous benchmark was passed despite US President Donald Trump’s Twitter proclamation before entering office that the development of such a missile “won’t happen!”
The launch was timed to take place as the US was celebrating its Independence Day on July 4. “I guess they are not too happy with the gift package we sent them for the occasion of their Independence Day,” North Korean leader Kim Jong-un said of the launch, according to KCNA.
After confirming the launch, US and South Korean forces fired deep strike missiles off South Korea’s east coast to counter “North Korea’s destabilizing and unlawful actions” according to a US Army statement
