North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has reportedly ordered all of Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons to be placed on full alert, citing the need to be ready at any time.
The announcement came as Kim Jong-un attended a test firing of a new multiple rocket launcher, urging the military to promptly deploy the weapons system that can hit major military targets in South Korea.
The Korean Central News Agency said, North Korea will also revise its military posture to address threats on a pre-emptive basis.
The statement comes after the United Nations Security Council imposed new tough sanctions on North Korea over recent nuclear tests and a rocket launch.
Yesterday, North Korea had reportedly fired six short-range projectiles into the sea from Wonsam on the east cost.
