F-16 fighters would be amongst the first wave of aircraft to target North Korea in the event of war, targeting the rogue state’s radar and missile defences. Around 12,000 military personnel
are taking part in the drills, which North Korea also warned they “may lead to a nuclear war at any moment”. The North Korea warning, which appeared in state-run media, added: “The US and
South Korean puppet warmongers would be well advised to bear in mind that their DPRK-targeted military drill will be as foolish as an act precipitating their self-destruction.” The White
House’s national security adviser HR McMaster has admitted the North Korean newspaper threats are credible. He said: “I think it’s increasing every day, which means that we are in a race to
be able to solve this problem. “There are ways to address this problem short of armed conflict, but it is a race because he’s getting closer and closer, and there’s not much time left.”
