Fear grips North Korea as it accuses the Unite States bomber of dropping nuclear bombs around the Korean peninsula. Pyongyang lamented saying, the B-1B bombers have the capability of carrying a nuclear payload.

This latest accusation against the US is coming as the American government is perfecting strategies to deal with the Korean dictator Kim Jong-un about two days after the US rounded off up training military exercises the South Korean army.

According to KCNA, Pyongyang’s official news agency: “The B-1Bs from Guam sneakily flew over sky above the East Sea and joined cooperative operations with strategic striking means, including the aircraft carrier and nuclear-powered submarine.”

The state spokesperson also said: “Holding a precious sword of nuclear weapons, we are closely watching military movements of the enemy with full preparations for combats.”

It was after the US successfully deployed its Navy strike group that was led by the USS Carl Vinson to the Korean peninsula, that the communist nation expressed its frustration and anger. Thus resulting to heightened war Pyongyang and the West.

Despite all the various threats being made by Pyongyang, the US have confirmed that there is a hi-tech anti-missile system current operating in South Korea which will quell any effort made by North Korean against world peace.

North Korea in trouble as China issues strong warning to Dictator Kim Jong-un saying any further test of nuclear weapons would make them regret their actions. Saying in the event of any outbreak of war, North Korea would be suffer the major casualty, especially Pyongyang.

An editorial piece in the Global Times, widely regarded as the mouthpiece of the Communist Party, said: “The game of chicken between Washington and Pyongyang has come to a breaking point.”

It further added that should North Korea engage in another nuclear missile test “it is more likely than ever that the situation will cross the point of no return”.

The piece continued: “All stakeholders will bear the consequences, with Pyongyang sure to suffer the greatest losses.”

Lu Kang said: “The current situation on the Korean Peninsula is complicated and sensitive and the tension is high.

“We urge all sides concerned to keep restrained and calm and refrain from taking actions that could escalate tensions.”

Nevertheless the speechmaking coming out of America is not particularly pacifying, with the US’ ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley urging her nation to “maximise pressure” on the “paranoid” North Korean dictator. Even as the US president has urged the Chinese government to reign in its hard-talking ally.

The Republican tweeted, after having a face-to-face meeting with Xi Jinping as well as a phone call in recent weeks, that China should “solve the North Korea problem”.

In readiness for any showdown, U.S. and South Korean troops have been having series of war games in the Korean peninsula.

However, Jong-un, not notorious for his slow attitude, has shown no sign of backing down so far, as he vows to turn America into “ashes”.

According to a Pyongyang-based newspaper: “There is no limit to the strike power of the People's Army armed with our style of cutting-edge military equipment including various precision and miniaturised nuclear weapons and submarine-launched ballistic missiles.”

Thus, President Trump yesterday made a call for anurgent meeting at the Senate where he vowed to fix the North Korean problem.

He said: "The status quo in North Korea is unacceptable and the council must be prepared to impose additional and stronger sanctions on North Korean nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

"North Korea is a big world problem, and it’s a problem we have to finally solve."

North Korean Kim Jong Un’s army participated in Saturday’s huge military procession to celebration what is known as North Korea’s Day of the Sun increasing tension between them and the US.

The country’s military used the birthday celebration of the country’s founder and grandfather of Kim to showcase their military might including ballistic missiles, as indication of their readiness to crush their adversaries in the even any war.

Kim was seen wearing a black suit as he walked down a red carpet before applauding his army in the capital Pyongyang.

The dictator’s soldiers shouted ‘long live’ towards the dictator, who flashed a big smile as he acknowledged the adoring crowds.

As widely known, the main essence of the show was to sound a note of warning concerning any possible outbreak of war, as missiles were rolled out on trucks and tanks, rocket launchers and artillery guns were paraded in plain sight.

And military planes flew over Kim Il Sung Square, creating the number ‘105’ in the air – the age the country’s late founder would have been.

Though, there was no nuclear test – after US officials said they suspected Kim to test his weaponry on the day.

Choe Ryong Hae, who some consider to be the second most powerful man in North Korea, criticised Donald Trump in an incendiary speech.

He said: ‘We will respond to an all-out war with an all-out war and a nuclear war with our style of a nuclear attack.’

War drums in the air as North Korea issues stark warning to the United States to stop its "military hysteria" or face retaliation - as a US strike group, including an aircraft carrier, steams towards the region.

The latest warning was made by Pyongyang during his country’s display of new submarine-based ballistic missiles in a massive military parade in the city, which many belief is just a mere bluff, and that when the chips are down, he will on his knees.

On the other hand, China, Pyongyang's sole major partner, has cautioned that the tensions be stopped from reaching an "irreversible and unmanageable stage".

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said: "We call on all parties to refrain from provoking and threatening each other.

"One has the feeling that a conflict could break out at any moment.

"Once a war really happens, the result will be nothing but multiple loss. No one can become a winner."

It was just on Saturday when North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un reached Pyongyang's main Kim Il Sung Square, named after his grandfather. While there, a military parade was led by him to mark the "Day of the Sun", the 105th birthday of the state's founding father Kim Il-Sung.

The venue was filled with goose-stepping soldiers and marching bands. Military tanks, followed by multiple rocket systems, to mention but a few.

The North Koreans have announced that the latest missiles being developed is capable of  striking the US mainland.

"All the brigandish provocative moves of the US in the political, economic and military fields pursuant to its hostile policy toward the DPRK will thoroughly be foiled through the toughest counteraction of the army and people of the DPRK," a spokesman for the General Staff of the Korean People's Army said.

"Our toughest counteraction against the US and its vassal forces will be taken in such a merciless manner as not to allow the aggressors to survive," the military spokesman stated.

On the contrary, the US has warned that the dogma of "strategic patience" with North Korea is over. This is due to the fact that, Pyongyang has continuously flouted several warnings issued by the UN

The joint exercises are seen as a show of strength against the sabre-rattling of North Korea’s dictator Kim Jong-un.

Reports that the North Korean leader was preparing to detonate a nuclear device have emerged overnight with the Voice of America reporting the country had plans to test a bomb buried in a tunnel.

Journalists visiting North Korea have have been told to prepare for a "big and important event" on Thursday as Pyongyang marks the 105th birth anniversary of its founding president Kim Il Sung on April 15, North Korea's biggest national day called "Day of the Sun”.

However, the military exercises by Japan will anger China, which has supported North Korea.

It has reacted by scrambling 25,000 more troops to the border with North Korea and put the country on “nationwide alert”.

The extra troops are on top of the 150,000 which were mobilised on Sunday to the area.

China’s armoured and mechanised infantry brigades in the Shandong, Zhejiang and Yunnan provinces have been given the go-ahead.

Tensions regarding North Korea have threatened to boil over in recent weeks after US President Donald Trump promised to deal with the nation unilaterally should China not help and put pressure on their neighbour and ally.

The US President tweeted: "North Korea is looking for trouble. If China decides to help, that would be great. If not, we will solve the problem without them! USA.”
