Supreme
leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Kim Jong Un has
threatened military actions against the United States of America should
President Donald Trump attack the Asian country.
President Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un
North Korea is in sabre-rattling mode, threatening the United
States of “merciless” attacks if an aircraft carrier strike group led by
the USS Carl Vinson, which is joining South Korean forces for
exercises, infringes on its sovereignty or dignity.
The pariah nation, which has alarmed its neighbours with two
nuclear tests and a string of missile launches since last year, said the
arrival of the U.S. strike group was part of a “reckless scheme” to
attack it.
“If they infringe on the DPRK’s sovereignty and dignity even a
bit, its army will launch merciless ultra-precision strikes from ground,
air, sea and underwater,” the North’s state news agency KCNA said. North Korea’s official name is the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
“On March 11 alone, many enemy carrier-based aircraft flew
along a course near territorial air and waters of the DPRK to stage
drills of dropping bombs and making surprise attacks on the ground
targets of its army,” KCNA said.
A U.S. Navy spokesman said the Carl Vinson was on a regular,
scheduled deployment to the region during which it would take part in
exercises with the forces of ally South Korea.
Last week, North Korea fired four ballistic missiles into the sea
off Japan in response to annual U.S.-South Korea military drills, which
the North sees as preparation for war.
The murder in Malaysia last month of North Korean leader Kim Jong
Un’s estranged half-brother has added to a sense of urgency to efforts
to handle North Korea. U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is due to
make his first visit to South Korea on Friday.
Last week, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said
President Donald Trump’s administration was re-evaluating its North
Korea strategy and “all options are on the table”.
CHINESE OPPOSITION
Compounding regional tension, China is vehemently opposed to the
deployment in South Korea of an advanced U.S. anti-missile system.
The United States and South Korea say the Terminal High Altitude
Area Defense anti-missile system is for defense against North Korea, but
China fears its powerful radar can probe deep into its territory and
compromise its security.
The United States began to deploy the system a week ago, a day
after North Korea launched its latest four missile tests. South Korean
and U.S. troops began the large-scale joint drills, which are billed as
defensive in nature, on March 1.
The exercise last year involved about 17,000 American troops and
more than 300,000 South Koreans. South Korea has said this year’s
exercise would be of a similar scale.
The United States has also started to deploy “Gray Eagle” attack
drones to South Korea, a U.S. military spokesman said on Monday. China
says the exercises do nothing to ease tension.
Last week, it called on North Korea to stop its weapons tests and for South Korea and the United States to stop their drills.
A state-run Chinese newspaper said the USS Carl Vinson was taking
part in a simulation of a preemptive strike against North Korea’s
nuclear and missile facilities.
The drills sent the North “an explicit radical threat”, to which it could not be expected to remain indifferent, the influential Global Times said.
North and South Korea were “equally hysterical”, it said.
“The U.S. and South Korea often accuse China of being
uncooperative, but the reality is they are uncooperative over China’s
mediation,” it said, referring to complaints that China does not do enough to rein in old ally North Korea.
