North Korea’s leader promises that nuclear weapons will meet nuclear weapons.

The dictatorship in North Korea night conducted on Friday a test launch of a missile capable of carrying nuclear weapons great distances, even to the United States.

South Korea has responded with military exercises using fighter jets, according to images from the country’s defense ministry.

North Korea’s state news agency said in a statement that the missile traveled nearly 1,000 kilometers before hitting its target in Japanese waters, in the sea east of the Korean peninsula.

– If the enemy continues to threaten us with its nuclear weapons, our party and the government of North Korea will resolutely respond to nuclear bombs with nuclear bombs and direct confrontation with direct confrontation, says dictator Kim Jong-un in a statement press, reproduced by Voice of Korea.

North Korea has made similar threats for decades since the country carried out its first nuclear test in 2006.

After the launch, the North Korean news agency released a series of images from the launch.

North Korea has no independent media and everything is subject to government control.

According to Reuters, the photos will show Kim Jong-un with his wife, Ri Sol-ju, and daughter, Kim Ju-ae.

It will be the first time the daughter has been seen at a rocket launch, according to the Reuters correspondent on the Korean peninsula.

South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has asked the National Security Council to implement expanded deterrence measures following the launch.

US Vice President Kamala Harris has called for an emergency meeting in Bangkok with world leaders from Japan, South Korea, Canada and New Zealand.

In a statement from the White House, it is said that the United States will implement all necessary measures to take care of the security of the United States and its allies South Korea and Japan.

The United Nations Security Council will also discuss North Korea at its meeting on Monday, according to Reuters.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemns the launch.

North Korea is estimated to possess between 20 and 60 nuclear weapons, according to the US Department of Defense, and has been testing nuclear weapons since 2006.

In this video from last September, North Korea claims it was able to launch a ballistic missile from a train that landed in the sea between North Korea and Japan.
