World war 3 fears are intensifyting each day over North Korea’s insistence on building nuclear weapons.
Following the latest rounds of sanctions placed against North Korea, Kim Jung Un’s administration has vowed to never stop building nuclear weapons to allegedly protect North Korea from potential attack from the U.S. Reliable U.S sources have spotted North Korea moving mobile missile launchers and preparing test sites in the last 48 hours.
Speculation was rife last week that North Korea was planning to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles which it was seen moving to the West Coast. However, North Korea instead staged a celebration to mark the success of its sixth and largest nuclear test . The 67th anniversary of the North Korean war in 1950 was dubbed ”the struggle against U.S imperialism” . Hidtorians recall the war as being sparked by Kim Jung-Un’s grandfather, Kim 11 Sung’s decision to invade South Korea.
The war ended in 1953 in an armistice, designed to call a truce, but not necessarily a declaration of peace between the two nations. Millions of lives were lost in the bloody war in which China and Russia lent their support to their fellow communist nation. The bad blood appears to have never disappeared , and is now posing a more dangerous threat in these modern times. Secret contigency plans for war are reportedly being made by both sides, and North Korean state news have been informing their domestic audience that the nuclear weapons buiding programme is necessary to keep North Koreans safe
South Korea today conducted its first live-fire drill for an advanced air-launched cruise missile that would strengthen its pre-emptive strike capability against North Korea in the event of crisis, according to Seoul’s Defence Ministry.
South Korea says it has detected radioactivity after North Korea’s nuke test. The missile, manufactured by Germany’s Taurus Systems, has a maximum range of 500 kilometres and is also equipped with stealth features that enable it to avoid radar detection before hitting North Korean targets. South Korean military said the Taurus missile — fired from an F-15 fighter jet — travelled through obstacles at low altitudes before directly hitting a particular target off the country’s western coast.
Shortly after the nuke test, Seoul announced it had reached an agreement with Washington to remove the warhead weight limits on South Korean ballistic missiles, which under a bilateral guideline could be built for a maximum range of 800 kilometres
