North Korea puts rockets on standby
北韓放置火箭就緒
AAP March 29, 2013 10:59AM (台灣時間29分鐘前)
NORTH Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has ordered preparations for strategic rocket
strikes on the US mainland and military bases in the Pacific and South Korea.
The order, issued at an overnight emergency meeting with top army commanders,
was a direct response to the use of nuclear-capable US B-2 stealth bombers in
ongoing US joint military drills with South Korea, Kim said.
In the event of any "reckless" US provocation, North Korean forces should
"mercilessly strike the US mainland ... military bases in the Pacific,
including Hawaii and Guam, and those in South Korea," he was quoted as saying
by the official Korean Central News Agency.
With tensions soaring on the Korean peninsula, two B-2s flew training bombing
runs over South Korea on Thursday to underline US commitment to its military
alliance with Seoul in the event of any aggression from the North.
Kim argued that the stealth bomber flights went beyond a simple demonstration
of force and amounted to a US "ultimatum that they will ignite a nuclear war
at any cost".
Present at the emergency meeting, held at 00.30am (0230 AEDT) on Thursday
were the head of the Korean People's Army chief of general staff, director of
operations and commander of strategic rocket operations.
Earlier, US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel dismissed suggestions that the B-2
mission could aggravate tensions.
He said the United States was committed to "unequivocally defend" South Korea
as well as Japan.
"We will be prepared - we have to be prepared - to deal with any
eventuality," Hagel told reporters at the Pentagon on Thursday.
"We must make clear that these provocations by the North are taken by us very
seriously and we'll respond to that."
