North Korea promises nuclear strike on US

North Korea threatened a nuclear strike on "the heart of the US" if it attempts to remove Kim Jong Un as Supreme Leader, Pyongyang's state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), reported.

KCNA reported that a spokesman for the North Korean Foreign Ministry said, "The DPRK legally stipulates that if the supreme dignity of the DPRK is threatened, it must preemptively annihilate those countries and entities that are directly or indirectly involved in it, by mobilising all kinds of strike means including the nuclear ones."

US Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, warned lawmakers last month that the North Korea's missile program may be advancing ahead of previous estimates that put Kim's unpredictable regime three to five years away from achieving its ambition of being able to deliver a nuclear weapon to the US.
