Kim Jong Un threatens to turn America into ash in latest nuke threat

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has promised to launch a nuclear attack against the U.S. which he says will “turn America into ashes.”

Following Trump’s successful testing of a new type of ground-based interceptor system designed to shoot down incoming intercontinental ballistic missiles on Tuesday, Jong Un warned that he fully intends to initiate a nuclear war with the United States, in a statement published in North Korea’s official state-run newspaper.

Inquisitr.com reports: The U.S. Defense Department conducted the test on Tuesday afternoon, firing the interceptor rocket from Vandenburg Air Force Base along the coastline of California’s Santa Barbara County. An unarmed ICBM was also fired from a location in the central Pacific Ocean.

According to a Pentagon statement, the anti-missile rocket scored “a direct hit,” and “annihilated” the incoming ICBM, according to an ABC News report.

“The intercept of a complex, threat-representative ICBM target is an incredible accomplishment for the GMD system and a critical milestone for this program,” said Vice Admiral Jim Syring, director of the U.S. Missile Defense Agency on Tuesday. “This system is vitally important to the defense of our homeland, and this test demonstrates that we have a capable, credible deterrent against a very real threat.”

But Kim Jong Un, in his statement issued through a Rodong Sinmun article headlined, “No One Can Stop the Nuclear Power State, Rocketry Master in the East,” used more colorful and descriptive language.

“We’re prepared to test-fire ICBMs anywhere and anytime on orders from the supreme commander. The United States must know our declaration that we can turn the devils’ den into ashes with nuclear weapons is not an empty threat,” the paper said, according to a Channel News Asia report.

The “supreme commander” refers to Kim, while the “devils’ den” appears to refer to the United States.

While the U.S. anti-missile system test was, according to the Pentagon, planned for months and not specifically designed to stop incoming missiles from North Korea, Pentagon spokesperson and U.S. Navy Captain Jeff Davis, acknowledged that the military had the rogue nation on its mind in carrying out Tuesday’s test.

“In a broad sense, North Korea is one of the reasons why we have this capability,” Davis said. “They continue to conduct test launches, as we saw this weekend, while also using dangerous rhetoric that suggests they would strike the United States homeland.”

On Monday, North Korea fired a SCUD missile into the Sea of Japan, reaching into Japan’s “Exclusive Economic Zone,” meaning that the test missile could have posed a danger to ships and other maritime activities off of Japan’s coastline, though no damage was reported.

Kim followed that test with another warning, saying that North Korea was prepared to deliver a “gift package” of missiles to the United States in response to the stepped up U.S. military maneuvers along the Korean peninsula this week.
