"Kim Jong-un says North Korea has miniaturised nuclear warheads - AFP 09 Mar 2016
SEOUL: North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un said his country has successfully miniaturised a thermo-nuclear warhead, as Pyongyang on Wednesday continued to talk up its nuclear strike capabilities amid rising military tensions on the Korean peninsula.
While the North has boasted of mastering miniaturisation before, this is the first time Kim has directly claimed the breakthrough that experts see as a game-changing step towards a credible North Korean nuclear threat to the US mainland.
Kim also stressed that the miniaturised warheads were "thermo-nuclear" devices, echoing the North's claim that a fourth nuclear test it conducted in January was of a more powerful hydrogen bomb.
The North Korean ruling party's newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, carried a large front-page picture of Kim standing in front of what some experts said would appear to be a sized-down device.
Kim's comments came a day after the North's powerful National Defence Commission threatened pre-emptive nuclear attacks on South Korea and the US mainland, as Seoul and Washington kicked off large-scale joint military exercises.
Military tensions have surged on the divided Korean peninsula since the North's nuclear test in January and a long-range rocket launch last month."
Is HE for real or?
Hmm, a call that may start world war III (WWIII)!!
North Korea is truly truly a mysterious country. A country's rules and its rulers SIMPLY defy conventional wisdom to define. How can such a 'lunatic' government be able to stand for so so long!!
May his threat be mere empty ones. Otherwise, this crazed, or cleverly manipulative 'emperor' may just be known in history as the one who start WWIII and bring the world as we know it to an end!!
