North Korea 'will test missiles weekly', senior official tells BBC
BBC News | April 17, 2017

North Korea will continue to test missiles despite international condemnation and increasing military tensions with the US, a senior official has told the BBC in Pyongyang.

"We'll be conducting more missile tests on a weekly, monthly and yearly basis," Vice Foreign Minister Han Song-Ryol told the BBC's John Sudworth. He said that an "all out war" would result if the US took military action. Earlier, US Vice-President Mike Pence warned North Korea not to test the US. He said his country's "era of strategic patience" with North Korea was over.

Mr Pence arrived in Seoul on Sunday hours after North Korea carried out a failed missile launch. Tensions have been escalating on the peninsula, with heated rhetoric from both North Korea and the US. What can the outside world do about N Korea? All about North Korea's missiles Speaking alongside South Korea's acting President Hwang Kyo-ahn, Mr Pence said North Korea should not test US President Donald Trump.

"Just in the past two weeks, the world witnessed the strength and resolve of our new president in actions taken in Syria and Afghanistan," Mr Pence said. "North Korea would do well not to test his resolve or the strength of the armed forces of the United States in this region." He reiterated US support for South Korea, telling his host: "We are with you 100%."

At a news conference at the UN on Monday, North Korea's permanent representative Ambassador Kim In-ryong, condemned the US missile strikes in Syria, which targeted an air base after a suspected chemical attack by the government.]

He said the US was "disturbing global peace and stability and insisting on [a] gangster-like logic".

SCRATCH yearly.

MAYBE monthly if Trump’s military needs some time.

Weekly, who knows what the Boss is thinking?

If our so-called allies had any balls they would join the USA in sheer overwhelming force and crush that little Buddha god’s destructive cult kingdom into its liberation.

lol. He’s dead and he doesn’t know it.

If I could have all the babes, cars and great food and booze that I want by just keeping my mouth shut and pointing a zillion artillery pieces at SK as insurance, and I was evil, I would.

Don’t know what he doesn’t get.

They are so closed off they CAN’T IMAGINE the technology and talent being thrown at them soon.

Target the NORK’s bomb making facilities, disrupt electrical grids and communication centers. If they still attack then bomb the kimchee out of them.

20 million human shields or refugees would be the big problem.
