North Korean leader Kim Jong-un leads two days of military drills 'simulating a nuclear counterattack', including the firing of a ballistic missile carrying a mock nuclear warhead, according to state media
The flurry of aggression by Pyongyang has also pushed Seoul and Tokyo to mend fences over historical disputes and try to boost security cooperation.
The drills were the fourth show of force from Pyongyang in a week and came as South Korea and the United States stage their own military manoeuvres - 11 days of joint drills known as Freedom Shield, their largest in five years. "The missile was tipped with a test warhead simulating a nuclear warhead," it added later, without giving further details.Preparing for 'real war'
North Korea declared itself last year an "irreversible" nuclear power and Kim recently called for an exponential increase in weapons production, including tactical nuclear weapons. They branded it a "serious provocation" that violated United Nations sanctions and said it was being analysed by US and South Korean intelligence.Seoul and Washington have ramped up defence cooperation in the face of growing military and nuclear threats from the North, which has conducted a series of banned weapons tests in recent months.
