Kim Jong Un's Regime Warns US And South Korea Of Nuclear Deterrents Again: 'Not Empty Talk'

Kim Jong Un's North Korea warned the U.S. and South Korea that it is not making “empty talk” on its nuclear capabilities.

What Happened: On Sunday, in a commentary, the North Korean state media slammed Seoul and Washington for the joint 11-day Freedom Shield exercise held last month.

The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) accused South Korea and the U.S. of being “warmongers” and “going to the extremes.”

“Their war hysteria is running up to the climax along with the start of Ssangyong, a joint landing drill,” it said.

North Korea also criticized the U.S.-South Korea's plan to stage their largest-ever "combined joint firepower annihilation drill" in June to mark the 70th anniversary of their alliance. “This reminds the people and army of the [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] of June 1950 when they had to be subject to war calamity, and further arousing their high vigilance.”

“The U.S. and its followers should never forget the fact that their rival state has possessed the nuclear attack capability in practice as well as the characteristics of the people and army of the DPRK, which do not make empty talk.” 

Kim's isolated nation has long opposed the joint exercises on the pretext that they serve as rehearsals for an invasion.

Meanwhile, the report added that two B-52H nuclear strategic bombers of the U.S. Air Force flew into the air of the Korean peninsula on March 30 to "openly pose a threat to the DPRK."

"At the same time, the chief of the carrier strike group and other warmongers bluffed, saying that they, too, have various means and can mount an attack in any sphere."
