North Korea: Leader Makes Nuclear Threat

Kim Jong-un has said North Korea’s nuclear weapons should be ready for use “at any time”, state media report.

He told military leaders North Korea would revise its military posture to be ready to launch pre-emptive strikes, the Korean Central News Agency said.

But despite its rhetoric it remains unclear how advanced the North’s nuclear weapons programme is.

The UN has imposed some of its toughest ever sanctions on the North following its nuclear test and missile launch.
