North Korea has claimed it is preparing to launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike on the U.S., after claiming its warheads are capable of reaching Manhattan.
The country’s Foreign Minister warned that the North Korean army has been ordered to move from preparing for potential military response to attacks on the country – to preparing to launch their own.
Foreign Minister Lee Su-yong extended the threat to its neighbors in the south, adding that ‘the Korean peninsula faces the dilemma: a thermonuclear war or peace’.
The warnings follows months of intensified weapons tests and threats of nuclear war by North Korea as a response to ongoing military drills between Washington and Seoul.
‘In response to the US frenzied hysteria for unleashing a nuclear war, we have fully transferred our army from the form of military response to the form of delivering a pre-emptive strike and we state resolutely about the readiness to deliver a pre-emptive nuclear strike,’ North Korea’s Foreign Minister Lee Su-yong said in a statement, Yonhap News reports.
