North Korea preps rockets after US drill
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said his rocket forces were ready “to settle accounts with the US”, escalating the country’s bellicose rhetoric and responding directly to the unprecedented announcement that nuclear-capable US B-2 bombers had joined military drills with South Korea.
Kim’s comments, made in a meeting with his senior generals, are part of a rising tide of threats meant to highlight anger over the military drills and recent United Nations sanctions over Pyongyang’s nuclear test.
