"To self -destruction": Kim Jong -in told why the DPRK launches rockets towards Japan
According to him, provocations allegedly from Washington will lead to his self -destruction. The newspaper writes that North Korea state media reported that Kim Jong-in was watching the launch of the Khvaon-17 rocket. His wife was watched with his wife Sol Ju, as well as other high -ranking DPRK officials.
However, according to journalists, some experts believe that the "Bakon-17" missile is still under development, but is already a long-range ballistic weapon of Pyongyang, designed to carry several nuclear warheads to damage the US anti-missile defense systems. North Korean officials call the "Bakon-17" missile the strongest strategic weapon in the world.
Moreover, Kim himself, as they write in AP, noted that his country is forced to strengthen his "predominant nuclear restraint" even more, because the US military threats are becoming more and more transparent. "Kim Jong -in solemnly stated that if the enemies continue to create threats to the DPRK, often using nuclear stroke, our party and the government will response to nuclear weapons and total confrontation with total confrontation," the central telephone report reads Korea (Tak).
AP journalists say Kima's statement suggests that North Korea will continue their weapons tests because the United States seeks to strengthen their security obligations to South Korea and Japan. Earlier, Focus wrote that the DPRK had conducted new training. The rocket fell in the waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan, flying about 240 kilometers. The USA, Japan and South Korea have promised a rigid response to such tests, but Pyongyang continues provocations.
