Seoul: The tension between North Korea and America is well known. Meanwhile, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has vowed to double his efforts to fully prepare his nuclear power for a war with the US and its allies. State media gave information about this on Tuesday. North Korea has also unveiled a new ‘platform’, which is probably designed to fire more powerful intercontinental ‘ballistic missiles’ capable of targeting the US mainland.

‘Kim will test weapons’

Kim’s threat comes at a time when external experts believe that Kim will test weapons as a provocation ahead of the US presidential election in November. Recently, North Korea has also resumed releasing balloons carrying garbage towards South Korea. In a speech on the occasion of the 76th founding anniversary of his government on Monday, Kim said that North Korea is facing a “serious threat”. He described the US-led regional military bloc as turning into a nuclear-based group.

According to the official ‘Korean Central News Agency’ (KCNA), Kim said that such developments inspire North Korea to increase its military capabilities. According to KCNA, Kim said that North Korea will “double its measures and efforts to make all the armed forces of the country, including the nuclear power, fully ready for war.” North Korea’s main Rodong Sinmun newspaper published a photo of Kim on Sunday in which he was seen inspecting a 12-axle missile launch vehicle.
