A warning, a warning to South Korea and the United States.
And there is Kim Jong un himself to oversee missile tests in recent weeks, to inspect " the training of tactical nuclear weapons units ."
After two weeks Pyongyang breaks the silence on the tests of the last few days and the supreme leader reappears in the media together with his wife Ri Sol-ju.
It was Kim who led the simulation of the heavy attacks, defined as a "warning on nuclear capabilities" aimed at Washington and Seoul . Kim provided "field guidance" to the exercises conducted from September 25 to October 9, while the US and South Korea were organizing their joint large-scale naval maneuvers in the Sea of Japan, involving the aircraft carrier Uss Ronald Reagan, an Aegis destroyer and a nuclear-powered submarine.
Numerous photos published, detailed the description provided by Rodong Sinmun: seven missile tests led by Kim , including one ballistic launched from a submarine and another "new" ballistic that flew over Japan as a "warning and response to the joint US military exercises. South Korea. Aviation and artillery maneuvers were also carried out.
Kim said that "the continuing intentional and irresponsible aggravation of tensions by the US and the South Korean regime will inevitably trigger a more serious response" and for this " we must send more defined signals with more powerful and resolute will and actions to the enemy ".
Kim has specified that he has no interest in dialogue with Washington or Seoul. By overseeing simulated nuclear attacks on airports and missile attacks on South Korean seaports , he promised further demonstrations of his nuclear capabilities to deter enemies. And fears are growing that it will soon lead to its seventh atomic detonation.
In September, Pyongyang approved a new law that opens the door to preventive nuclear attacks in case of danger to the leadership , ensuring the "irreversibility" of the state's atomic power.
