- Story Text: People in the North Korean capital Pyongyang were preparing on Tuesday (April 11) for the upcoming 105th anniversary celebration of the birth of the nation's founder Kim Il Sung on Saturday (April 15).
North Korean officials, including leader Kim Jong Un, have repeatedly indicated an intercontinental ballistic missile test or something similar could be coming, possibly as soon as April 15, celebrated annually as "the Day of the Sun."
North Korean state media on Tuesday warned of a nuclear attack on the United States at any sign of U.S. aggression as a U.S. Navy strike group steamed towards the western Pacific.
U.S. President Donald Trump, who has urged China to do more to rein in its impoverished neighbour, said in a Tweet North Korea was "looking for trouble" and the United States would "solve the problem" with or without China's help. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
