NORTH Korea has warned that “nuclear war may break out at any moment” due to “reckless moves of aggression” from the US, the hermit kingdom has stated.
The media puppet said: “The joint marine drill around the Paekryong and Yonphyong Islands aimed at a preemptive strike at major targets of North Korea was a deliberate and planned military provocation to further strain the situation of acute confrontation.
“The situation of the Korean peninsula is now on the worst phase of tension in which a nuclear war may break out any moment due to the US reckless moves for aggression on the DPRK.
“So, it is clear what a catastrophic phase such war games will bring.
scot-free.
“The military provocation act of the puppet forces going helter-skelter with the backing of their master is a suicidal act of digging their own graves.”
New images were recently released by the US Navy showing the astonishing sea power at Trump’s disposal amid growing tensions on the Korean peninsula.
Three enormous aircraft carriers, the USS Ronald Reagan, USS Theodore Roosevelt and USS Nimitz, were pictured alongside their strike forces and a range of fighter jets as the vessels patrol the seas off the North Korean coast.
The Pentagon said the drill involving the three aircraft carrier strike groups in the Western Pacific would be carried out for the first time in a decade.
The drill comes in response to the series of nuclear and missile threats from North Korea and is designed to show tyrannical leader Kim Jong-un that any further threats will be repelled with “overwhelming force”.
The drills, which will continue until Tuesday, allow South Korean and US forces to practice air operations, air artillery strikes and aircraft carrier escorts.
Announcing plans for the exercises last week, US Pacific Fleet Commander Admiral Scott Swift said: “It is a rare opportunity to train with two aircraft carriers together, and even rarer to be able to train with three.
The major exercise will be the first time the three carriers have operated together in the Western Pacific since 2006 and 2007 when they carried out drills off the coast of Guam.
Mr Trump warned Kim Jong-un “the weapons you are acquiring are not making you safer, they are putting your regime in grave danger”.
He threatened to “destroy” the hermit nation and has used his tour to continue to mount pressure on Kim to halt his nuclear ambitions.
But Mr Trump also hinted he would be willing to start negotiations with North Korea in order to find a diplomatic solution to the crisis.
