North Korea WAR: Missiles and fighter jets moved east ready to attack - Daily Star

North Korea moves jets, missiles and fuel tanks as world on brink of WW3

NORTH Korea has moved fighter jets, air to air missiles and fuel tanks to strategic positions as the world stands on the brink of World War 3.

The movement of armaments comes as President Donald Trump reissued his warning to Kim Jong-un's regime, saying the US will use "devastating" military action if needed.

It has now been confirmed that Pyongyang moved a number of fighter jets, external fuel tanks and missiles to a base on its eastern coast.

Speaking alongside Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, Trump said he is "totally prepared" to attack the DPRK.

He said: "If we take that option it will be devastating – devastating – for North Korea. It's called the military option.

"He's acting very badly. He's saying things that should never ever be said."

Trump has maintained his response is totally legitimate as he is responding to threats from North Korea.

On Monday, Foreign minister Ri Yong Ho warned his country was preparing for battle following Trump's "declaration of war".

He said: "Since the United States declared war on our country, we will have every right to take countermeasures, including the right to shoot down United States strategic bombers even when they are not inside the airspace border of our country.

"In light of the declaration of war by Trump, all options will be on the operations table of the supreme leadership of the DPRK."

Just hours ago, US Defence officials reportedly confirmed this is true and North Korea has moved a military contingent east.

On Wednesday, North Korean state propaganda reiterated its threat that Trump could be "tamed only with fire."

It said it now has no choice but to attack its "US imperialist aggressors" in light of what Trump said.

"They should clearly understand that tremendous is the power of the army and people who formed a citadel around their leader and turned out as one and that no one can break the decision and will of the DPRK to fully exercise the right to preemptive strike to defend the dignity of the supreme headquarters and sovereignty," it said.

"It is the stern determination and will of the DPRK to annihilate the US imperialists, the ringleader of aggression, to the last man on this planet."

The General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea has also issued a call-to-arms to its citizens.

It declared that Kim Jong-un would deal a “stern sledgehammer blow” to the US and that his loyal subjects would fight to the death against Trump’s armies.
