North Korea has warned that it is prepared to risk "all-out war" as the supreme leader Kim Jong-Un put his frontline troops on combat readiness to support an ultimatum for South Korea to stop propaganda broadcasts across the border.
According to News24, the warning came as tensions on the divided Korean peninsula rose following exchange of artillery fire that put the South Korean army on maximum alert.
North Korea's foreign ministry said in a statement that the military and people are prepared to risk an all-out war not just to simply respond or retaliate, but to defend the system.
