Following Kim Jong-un's declaration that North Korea is a "fully-fledged nuclear power", the country has now warned that it may strike at any moment in its self-defense and the attack would be on an unprecedented scale. Targeting the joint US-South Korea naval drills, North Korea said its repeated tough offensives had put US in despair and horror dealing a heavy blow to the world's only superpower and the US could no longer help the South Korean puppet forces. "The South Korean puppet forces should clearly understand that already in hand are the toughest countermeasure of Korean style to cope with the US' reckless military act," the KCNA release further said. The war of words between US and North Korea has seen regular war rhetoric but its intensity has really gone up after North Korea's successful nuclear capable ICBM test and hydrogen bomb detonation. What has irked the Trump administration even more that North Korea did all this despite a clear warning that US would never allow the country to have an ICBM or a hydrogen bomb.
