North Korea Claims Kim Jong-un Led Nuclear Attack Drill

North Korea’s flagship state propaganda arm claimed in a report on Tuesday that communist dictator Kim Jong-un personally led what it called a “combined tactical drill simulating a nuclear counterattack.”the military exercise was necessary in response to ongoing joint drills between the South Korean and American armed forces, set to conclude on April 26.

Kim claimed that North Korea’s ability to accurately use “super-large multiple rocket launchers” had “remarkably increased” and insisted the purpose of simulating a nuclear attack was to fulfill the “important mission of deterring a war.”“The super-large multiple rocket launcher is a short-range ballistic missile with a range of 400 kilometers, codenamed KN-25 by South Korean and U.S.

“If North Korea attempts to use weapons, it will face an immediate, overwhelming and decisive response from the South Korea-U.S. alliance, and the North Korean regime will face its end,” ministry spokesperson Jeon Ha-kyu told reporters, The Joint Chiefs of Staff , South Korea’s military leadership, dismissed the claims in the KCNA report as “exaggerated.”
