Kim sends West terrifying warning as new submarine-launched ballistic missile unveiled

At the parade, Kim Jong-un also vowed to “strengthen and develop” its nuclear forces at the “highest possible” speed.

He then issued a terrifying warning to the West, stating any country or force that tried to confront North Korea militarily would “cease to exist”, describing his nuclear arsenal as both a “symbol of national power and the basis of our military power.”

In a statement released by the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), Kim said: “True peace can be trusted and national dignity and national sovereignty can be guaranteed by the powerful self-defence force that can overcome the enemy.”

He added that his nuclear force’s first mission was “to deter war,” but if anyone tried to “to take away the fundamental interests of our country, our nuclear force will have no choice but to carry out its second mission”.
