North Korea's Kim Jong-un says he will respond to US threats with nuclear weapons, after overseeing Pyongyang's latest ICBM test 'with his beloved daughter and wife'
If the US continues to make threats, Pyongyang"will resolutely react to nukes with nuclear weapons and to total confrontation with all-out confrontation," state media quotes leader Kim Jong-un as saying.
It is extremely rare for state media to mention Kim's children, and this is believed to be one of the first official confirmations of his daughter, experts said. "Kim Jong-un said he came to confirm once again that the nuclear forces of the DPRK have secured another reliable and maximum capacity to contain any nuclear threat," it added.
Since Kim declared North Korea an "irreversible" nuclear state in September, Washington has ramped up regional security cooperation, including joint military exercises, and is looking for ways to boost the protection it offers Seoul and Tokyo.
