North Korea on Saturday simulated a tactical nuclear weapon attack in response to another round of massive military exercises held by the US and South Korea.
“A firing drill for simulated tactical nuclear attack was conducted at dawn of September 2 to warn the enemies of the actual nuclear war danger,” North Korea’s KCNA news agency reported.
The KCNA report said that “two long-range strategic cruise missiles tipped with mock nuclear warheads were fired in an actual war environment according to rapid approval procedures.”
The North Korean missile launch came after the US and South Korea concluded 11 days of joint exercises, known as Ulchi Freedom Shield (UFS). Ahead of the drills, South Korean officials said they would involve 30 field training events, compared with 13 in last year’s iteration of UFS.
US B1-B bombers participated in the drills as the Biden administration is making a point to deploy strategic assets to the Korean Peninsula. In July, the US docked a nuclear-armed submarine in South Korea for the first time since 1981, a major provocation with no strategic benefit other than escalating tensions.
“The recklessness and dangerous nature of the confrontation hysteria recently betrayed by the US and the gangsters of the ‘Republic of Korea’ are unprecedented in history,” the KCNA report said.
Tensions on the Korean Peninsula show no sign of easing as the two sides continue tit-for-tat escalations. The Biden administration has shown no interest in backing down or fostering diplomacy and is taking steps to boost military cooperation between South Korea and Japan as part of its strategy against China.
North Korea is so paranoid and crazy. They always act as if we’re planning to kill them all. Just because we’re non-stop practicing how to best kill them all, doesn’t mean we’re going to actually do it! (Sarcasm)
yeah “hey guys don’t mind us, this target practice on your door-step has nothing to do with you!”
LOL! RELAX! SEE!? Our strategic nuclear bomber managed to turn around just before it crossed your border and just as a Trident submarine showed up in your cousins’ port. …Seriously? You guys can’t take a joke? (Sarcasm)
The incapability of US confronting Russia using Ukraine was not enough… Now they want to show more of the same against North Korea and China on Taiwan issue…!
D-I-P-L-O-M-A-S-S-Y?…

Always with the cute names. Unbelievably Fucking Stupid.
or United Fucked States…!
The name of the country is DPRK. You may want to call it as such. Only degenerate propaganda rags call it “North Korea”
It is great that NK has WMD’s to protect itself from its enemies. I wish Iran also had those weapons to defend itself against its enemies. It could also simulate tactical nuke attacks from the US and Israel.
Biden is planning for a war with China since the proxy war with Ukraine is not good enough for him.
