North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un vows to continue the fight against the US and South Korea, stating they will respond to nuclear weapons with nuclear weapons and to front-line conflicts with frontal combat. The statement comes after overseeing a successful intercontinental ballistic missile test just before the historic Japan-South Korea summit held in Tokyo, Japan.
The purpose was to deliberately escalate tensions on the Korean Peninsula and respond to what North Korea sees as irresponsible military threats. The country aims to warn its enemies that armed conflict could become a threatening reality at any moment.
