North Korea vows to conduct WEEKLY missile tests and threatens 'all-out war' if Trump is 'reckless enough to use military means'
I found this news article on the Daily Mail page. It was published by Alex Matthews For Mailonline and talks about Vice Presidents’ Mike Pence’s visit to the Demilitarized Zone separating North and South Korea.
  • VP first visited a military base near the DMZ as tensions between the US and North Korea were ratcheted up
  • Pence arrived at Camp Bonifas on Monday morning for a briefing with military leaders
  • After North Korea's failed test National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster said 'all our options are on the table' to try to 'avoid the worst'
  • Frantic talks were taking place with allies including China to 'develop a range of options' regarding N Korea
  • Trump and McMaster hope China will convince its neighbor to stop the crisis from escalating
 
North Korea has threatened to launch weekly missile tests after US Vice President Mike Pence warned that the 'era of patience' with Kim Jong-un is over.
Vice Foreign Minister Han Song-Ryol has ramped up the tension between the two nations by saying: 'We'll be conducting more missile tests on a weekly, monthly and yearly basis.'
He also said that an 'all out war' was a possibility if the US responded by taking military action against Pyongyang.
The secretive state's deputy U.N. ambassador has also accused Washington of turning the Korean peninsula into 'the world's biggest hotspot' and creating 'a dangerous situation in which a thermonuclear war may break out at any moment.'
Kim In Ryong told a news conference today that U.S.-South Korean military exercises being staged now are the largest-ever 'aggressive war drill.'
He said North Korea's measures to bolster its nuclear forces are self-defensive 'to cope with the US vicious nuclear threat and blackmail.'
Before adding that his country 'is ready to react to any mode of war desired by the US.'
