'Simulation of an actual war': North Korea practices nuclear strikes against the South

North Korea’s recent barrage of missile launches were the simulated use of its tactical battlefield nuclear weapons to “hit and wipe out” potential South Korean and U.S. targets, state media reported, as its leader Kim Jong Un signaled he would conduct more provocative tests. Viewing the drills as a military threat, North Korea decided to stage “the simulation of an actual war” to check and improve its war deterrence, KCNA said.
