North Korea puts missile on hold

According to the North’s state media, its North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un said that he will wait for a while longer as he is yet to watch the actions of the US before pushing its plans on firing missiles towards the US Pacific territory of Guam.

Kim said that US should make the right choice “in order to defuse the tensions and prevent the dangerous military conflict on the Korean peninsula,” the report read.

Moreover, “He said that if the Yankees persist in their extremely dangerous reckless actions on the Korean peninsula and in its vicinity, testing the self-restraint of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), the latter will make an important decision as it already declared.”

Kim added that he had ordered his army to always be fire-ready should he make a decision for action.
