North Korea Warns “Nuclear War Could Break Out At Any Moment”<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Less than a day after South Korean and US naval forces kicked off their latest round of joint military drills<\/a>, which are slated to run until the end of the week, North Korea\u2019s deputy UN ambassador claimed during a fiery speech at the UN General Assembly that the Korean peninsula \u201chas reached the touch-and-go point and a nuclear war may break out any moment,\u201d <\/strong>the Associated Press<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

Complaining to the UN General Assembly\u2019s disarmament committee, Kim In Ryong argued that North Korea is the only country in the world that has been subjected to \u201csuch an extreme and direct nuclear threat\u201d from the United States since the 1970s, adding that the isolated North has the right to posses nuclear weapons in self-defense.<\/p>\n

This latest warning arrives as the US and South Korea are bracing for another North Korean missile test. <\/strong>For weeks now, South Korean intelligence has suspected that its isolated neighbor could use the beginning of China\u2019s National Party Congress, which begins on Thursday, as an opportunity for what would be a bold act of defiance, angering both the US and the North\u2019s primary benefactor and only major ally, China. The North has also been threatening to unveil a new ICBM that intelligence services believe might be capable of striking the west coast.<\/p>\n

During his speech, Kim accused the US and South Korea of conducting military exercises involving \u201cnuclear assets\u201d and also mentioned a top-secret plan to stage a \u201csecret operation aimed at the removal of our supreme leadership\u201d<\/strong> developed by US and South Korean intelligence. The plan was exposed after North Korean hackers stole a large cache of military documents from the South.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
