Kim Jong Un says North Korea is ready to mobilize its nuclear deterrent force

July 28 (EUROPA PRESS) –

North Korean President Kim Jong Un said Thursday that North Korea is preparing to “fully and quickly” mobilize the nuclear deterrent force and for any military confrontation with the United States.

“We have capable and fully ready weapons to respond to all crises and we are in a position to fully and quickly mobilize with precision our own forces with a vocation for the nuclear deterrence of our country,” the North Korean president stressed at an event held in Pyongyang by the 69th anniversary of the armistice or truce of the Korean War (1950-1953), signed on July 27, 1953, called ‘Victory Day’, as reported by the South Korean news agency Yonhap.

Regarding the United States, Kim stated: “I reconfirm that Korea is fully ready to respond to all military confrontations with the United States,” adding that if the United States continues to “hurt” North Korea’s image and threatens its security and interests, “will have to resign itself to having greater concerns and crises,” he said.

Kim Jong Un has warned South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol for his comments about a “preemptive strike” in the face of North Korea’s ballistic provocations. “If (the South) makes such a dangerous attempt, there will immediately be retaliation from powerful forces and the Yoon administration and his armies will be annihilated,” he has warned.

“The South Korean government and military thugs are seeking a military confrontation against us and if they really believe that they are preemptively destroying part of our armed forces by mobilizing military means, that would be a dream,” he said.
