KIM JONG-UN has threatened to hit “the heart of the US” with a nuclear strike, while American officials have predicted that North Korea will stage a missile test as early as tomorrow.
Both USA and North Korea are preparing for a huge fight.
The pressure is getting higher and higher, when is the balloon going to pop? We don`t know yet, but it sure will be a
tremendous fight.
THIS IS WHAT`S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW:
3.00pm: North Korean minister to meet US and South Korea at security conference
North Korea’s top diplomat will attend a security conference in Manila, where Kim Jong-un’s weapons programme is expected to be high on the agenda.
Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho will attend the meeting on August 7, a Phillipine official said. The US, South Korea, China, Russia and Japan will also send representatives.
11.25am: North Korea threatens US with ‘nuclear hammer’
North Korea has warned of a nuclear strike on “the heart of the US” if it attempts to remove Kim Jong-un from power.
Pyongyang mouthpiece KCNA reported that the North Korean Foreign Ministry said: "The DPRK legally stipulates that if the supreme dignity of the DPRK is threatened, it must preemptively annihilate those countries and entities that are directly or indirectly involved in it, by mobilising all kinds of strike means including the nuclear ones."
"Should the US dare to show even the slightest sign of attempt to remove our supreme leadership, we will strike a merciless blow at the heart of the US with our powerful nuclear hammer, honed and hardened over time.”
The threat comes after CIA Director Mike Pompeo suggested that he was “hopeful” of finding a way to separate Kim from his nuclear arsenal.
"The North Korean people I'm sure are lovely people and would love to see him go,” he added.
