North Korea Vows ‘Nuclear’ Response to Threats as U.S. Deploys B-1B Bombers

North Korea’s Kim Jong-un has firmly warned to respond to U.S. threats with nuclear weapons amid Washington’s ramped-up military activities in the region, including joint exercises with Seoul and Tokyo.

North Korea’s official news agency KCNA said on Saturday that Kim made the warning after he personally oversaw Pyongyang’s latest launch of intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), which flew some 1,000 kilometers before falling in waters in the East Sea, also known as Sea of Japan.
