Kim calls for nuclear preparedness against US, South Korea, supervised two days of drills “simulating a nuclear counterattack”

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said the country should be ready to conduct nuclear attacks at any time to deter war, accusing the US and South Korea of expanding joint military drills involving American nuclear assets, state media KCNA said on Monday. 

He has supervised two days of drills “simulating a nuclear counterattack” — including the firing of a ballistic missile carrying a mock nuclear warhead — according to state news agency KCNA, as South Korea and the United States continued their own military exercises.
