North Korea has once again warned of “nuclear war,” but it added a new wrinkle in its threats by saying it intends to make a missile capable of hitting the U.S. East Coast.
On Monday, Oct. 16, North Korea’s Deputy U.N. Ambassador Kim In Ryong warned that the situation on the Korean Peninsula, which includes South Korea, “has reached the touch-and-go point and a nuclear war may break out any moment,” reported The Associated Press. He claimed that the isolated, communist country is the only one in the world under “such an extreme and direct nuclear threat,” adding that it has the right to possess nuclear weapons of its own.
