NORTH KOREA PREPARES FOR WAR?
North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has told troops to prepare for "all-out war" as tensions continue to rise on the Korean peninsula.
Kim told troops during a frontline tour that the slightest provocation would
result in his immediate order for a "great advance" along the
entire frontline with the South, according to state media.
- His visit to a unit near the disputed maritime border with South Korea coincided with an outpouring of vitriol from Pyongyang over UN sanctions imposed for its nuclear test last month.
- A raft of new threats which included fresh talk of nuclear war and the scrapping of peace pacts with South Korea, have ramped up tensions on the Korean peninsula that have increased since the North staged a third nuclear test last month.
- Pyongyang is known for its bellicose rhetoric, but the tone has reached a frenzied pitch in recent days, fuelling concerns that it might trigger a border incident, with both North and South planning major military exercises next week.
- North Korea "abrogates all agreements on non-aggression reached between the North and the South", the state-run Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea (CPRK) said in a statement.
