Alarm sirens have been sounding out in Pyongyang as tensions mount between North Korea and the US, which may lead to World War Three.

The media said that families had been torn apart thanks to the evacuation while leader Kim Jong-Un is set to set off a war with US President Donald Trump, following many months of the build-up of troops along with testing of nuclear weapons.  EVACUATION ALARMS GO OFF IN CAPITAL CITY OF PYONGYANG  The video posted online was said to be filmed in Pyongyang in North Korea and it, alarm sirens can be heard echoing around the streets telling residents that they need to leave their homes.

US AIR FORCE SUCCESSFULLY TESTS NEW B61-12 NUCLEAR GRAVITY BOMB IN NEVADA

America begins test launches of modernised nuclear weapons. Onlookers have become increasingly concerned about the bellicose nature of the Trump administration following an increase in American military tension in both Syria and North Korea.  This week, anxieties were raised further after the American military dropped ‘the mother of all bombs’ on a target in Afghanistan which is believed to have been an ISIS pathway. Now it appears as though there may be further caused for alarm as the US National Nuclear Security Administration has announced the successful field test of the upgraded gravity nuclear bomb in a test site in Nevada. President Trump has given the green light to the US military to go ahead with an ambitious and incredibly expensive modernisation program related to the nuclear triad. According to Brian Becker, the director of the anti-war ANSWER coalition, President Trump has given a ‘black check’ to his generals, and they are currently in the midst of planning to tes

BUNKER BUSTER: Bomb deadlier than MOAB could be used on North Korea, says weapons expert

AMERICA is “moving down the track” to using an even more powerful bomb in North Korea than the one it dropped in Afghanistan, according to one weapons expert. Dr Martin Navias, of King’s College London’s Centre for Defence Studies, said the MOAB (Massive Ordnance Air Blast) bomb, which was used on an ISIS tunnel in Nangahar, was not the most powerful weapon in Donald Trump’s arsenal. Aside from the MOAB bomb – the GBU-43 – nicknamed the “Mother of All Bombs”, he said another bomb, the GBU-57 – the Massive Ordnance Penetrator – was capable of even more destruction. Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s World at One , he said: “There are numerous weapons in the Americans’ arsenal that have not been used. “There’s another weapon that’s even more interesting. We’re talking today about the GBU-43, there’s another one, the GBU-57, that’s the Massive Ordnance Penetrator, and that will be very interesting to use practically because that one goes against deepened, protected targets – that’s a bu

North Korea surprises with display of new missiles

(CNN)North Korea put its adversaries on notice Saturday, when it showed off a bevy of new missiles and launchers at its annual military parade. Pyongyang showed off two new intercontinental ballistic missile-sized canisters as well as displaying its submarine-launched ballistic missile and a land-based version of the same for the first time, according to analysts. If North Korea has ICBMs, it could give it the ability to strike targets in the mainland US and Europe. The shorter range ballistic missiles displayed Saturday, meanwhile, are a threat to countries in the Asian region. North Korea's display comes as tensions on the Korean Peninsula have spiked to alarming levels. A missile believed to be the Pukguksong-1, a submarine-launched ballistic missile. The US Navy dispatched the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson strike group to the region last weekend, and US President Donald Trump has been tweeting this week that if China can't rein in North Korea's nuclear program the US

The despot leader, 33, applauded alongside military leaders as thousands of troops and tanks filled the streets of the capital on Saturday morning. At the ceremony, Choe Ryong Hae, addressed the packed square with a characteristically bellicose warning to the United States. "If the United States wages reckless provocation against us, our revolutionary power will instantly counter with annihilating strike, and we will respond to full-out war with full-out war and to nuclear war with our style of nuclear strike warfare," he said.
