North Korea launch TODAY: Kim 'to detonate city busting H-bomb’ NEVER seen before
CIA officials and US Generals fear the rogue state could be about to detonate another nuclear bomb – or at the very least launch another missile.
North Korea has been silent since September 15, when Kim last fired a missile over Japan.
Since then tensions have reached “dangerous levels”, experts told Daily Star Online.
Pyongyang is ready to celebrate the founding of the Worker’s Party of Korea – Kim’s ruling regime – with a national celebration on October 10.
This will be from 4.30pm today in the UK.
Kim tests nuclear weapons like “fireworks on holidays”, so it is likely the world will see another test by North Korea.
orth Korea’s so-called Juche Bird would be launched from nation’s eastern coast – flying out into the central Pacific.
It would detonate over the ocean, and would be the first blast of its kind in nearly 30 years.
Back in 1966, China proved its nuke might to the US by detonating a weapon in the South Pacific.
Pyongyang has already talked up the possibility of its first ever truly “live” missile test, warning "most powerful detonation of an H-bomb in the Pacific”.Security expert Robert A. Manning, from think tank the Atlantic Council, told Daily Star Online there is a 50/50 chance a test today from North Korea.
He said: “Kim has been quiet, for reasons only he knows.
“The war of words with Trump has ratcheted up tensions to dangerous levels.”
Mr Manning added: "They like fireworks on holidays, and he is in a mad rush to acquire a reliable ICBM and a city-busting H-bomb.
"This week, top officials at the CIA warned the US should be prepared to take action on October 10.
Yong Suk Lee, the deputy assistant director of the CIA’s Korea Mission Centre, warned the world to “stand by your phones”.
The day also has special significance as it is also one-day removed from 11th anniversary of North Korea’s first ever nuclear bomb test back in 2006.
Kim’s father Kim Jong-ill blatantly announced the test before detonating the very basic weapon, which was hailed by North Korea as a “historic event”.
