North Korea vows to nuke THIS country first if WW3 breaks out – Daily Star

NORTH korea has revealed the first country it would nuke if World War 3 broke out, according to terrifying claims from a Pyongyang newspaper.

Hermit Kingdom mouthpiece Rodong Sinmun claims Japan would be the first country to be blanketed with radioactive clouds if war erupted on the Korean peninsula.

The official daily paper of the ruling regime boasted of the ease with which the totalitarian state could unleash its army on Japan.

The paper added: Not only those who try to harm us but their supporters will not be safe if any war breaks out.

The chilling threat comes as Japan authorised a helicopter carrier to use weapons against attacks from North Korea if necessary.

Japanese defence chiefs ordered the Izumo Maritime Self-Defense Force helicopter carrier to protect a US Navy supply ship in the Pacific.

The troops on board the Japanese ship have been authorised to use the minimum necessary use of weapons amid North Korean threats to sink US vessels, the Japan Times reports.

The US armada led by the nuclear-powered USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier was sent by Trump to within striking range of North Korea.

Now Rodong Sinmun has accused Japan of fanning war tensions and urged the nation to resolve the crisis on the Korean peninsula peacefully.

The state-owned paper reported the story under the headline: Japan's Reckless Act Which Drives Itself into Ruin.

It added: It's obvious that Japan's fanning of a Korean Peninsula crisis is intended to proceed toward its militarization and reinvade the peninsula.

Joint US and South Korean forces have flexed their muscles in an aggressive display of military power, sure to heighten tensions on the Korean border to unbearable levels
