Tension is running high on the Korean peninsula after Pyongyang carried out a nuclear test in January and launched a satellite rocket in February.
The 4-minute long footage, uploaded on the website of dprktoday.com, one of the North’s propaganda sites for outside online users, shows an SLBM, after re-entering the earth’s atmosphere from outer space, hitting the U.S.’ capital.
As the US Capitol building burns, a message flashes up on the screen in Korea: “If US imperialists budge an inch toward us, we will immediately hit them with nuclear (weapons)”.
The North’s SLBM capability, if fully developed, would pose a serious threat because of its mobile nature.
Rogue despot Kim Jong-un has released a worrying propaganda video of nuclear bombs hitting America.
That is partly due to the nuclear test and the United Nations sanctions that followed, but also because of the first-time inclusion in the drills of an operation that envisages strikes to “decapitate” North Korea’s top leadership.
In addition, North Korea warned on Saturday that it is ready to strike the South Korean presidential palace until South Korea’s president apolgoizes for “treason” and “publicly executes” officials responsible for what Pyongyang says are plans to attack its leadership, North Korea’s official KCNA news agency reports.

“Bring down a firestorm on nuclear maniac Kim Jong-Un”, read the slogan.
