North Korean media claim US pushing for all-out nuclear war

NORTH Korean media yesterday accused the US of pushing into full swing preparations for nuclear war against the communist state, and warned such a war could wreak havoc.

The North’s official Korea Central News Agency (KCNA) quoted the ruling communist party’s Rodong Sinmun as saying the US Department of Defence recently ordered huge US air force deployments in South Korea, Japan and around the Korean peninsula.

Besides, it added, the US Air Forces Command in South Korea put its units at “semi-war footing”.
