N. Korea: ‘Mobile weapons’ capable of striking US
PYONGYANG, North Korea – A senior North Korean army official said his country is armed with “powerful mobile weapons” capable of striking America.
Vice Marshal Ri Yong Ho emphasized the importance of defending the North against the U.S. and South Korea as Pyongyang marked the 80th anniversary of the nation’s army Wednesday.
He told officials at the April 25 House of Culture that the weapons could defeat the U.S. “at a single blow.”
North Korea made another unusual claim Monday, promising “special actions” that would reduce Seoul’s government to ashes.
North Korea is believed to have nuclear weapons but not the technology to put them on long-range missiles. A rocket launch that the U.S. claimed was a North Korean attempt to test missile technology failed this month.
