Nuclear war may break out any time, warns North Korea

TIL Desk/World/Pyongyang/ North Korea has warned that a nuclear war ‘may break out at any time’ as the situation on the Korean peninsula has reached the ‘touch-and-go point’. According to media reports, North Korea’s deputy United Nations ambassador Kim In-ryong told the UN General Assembly’s disarmament committee that Pyongyang has the right to possess nuclear weapons ‘for its defence’.

He said North Korea is the only country in the world that has been subjected to ‘such an extreme and direct nuclear threat’ from the United States since the 1970s. US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Sunday asserted that his diplomatic efforts to relax tensed relations with North Korea will continue ‘until the first bomb drops’.

Tillerson averred that President Donald Trump has instructed him to try and reduce stress between the two nations through diplomatic efforts. North Korea had recently called on its citizens to be ready for a nation-wide struggle against ‘war thirsty’ US President Donald Trump and his ‘gangster-like moves for domination and aggression’.
