North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un is reportedly planning an all-out nuclear war on the US using an Xbox game.

The dictator is resorting to gaming in order to better his war tactics.

According to Daily Star, Kim's favourite game is the 2011 hit Homefront, set in 2027 where American resistance fighters battle invaders from the Korean People's Army.

An unnamed source from North Korea has said that the dictator loves the idea of the Korean army taking over the US, adding that to be able to play as them taking on the Americans has put a smile on his face.

Meanwhile, a former US diplomat who has monitored North Korea for more than a decade said that this might be his only chance of racking up any kind of victory against America.

 

North Korea had recently warned US of nuclear measures if it did not end its provocations.

North Korean ambassador to the United Nations, Ri Tong-Li had said that Pyongyang was ready with measures to demonstrate the power of the self-defensive nuclear deterrent.

The country's nuclear threat reportedly comes in the wake of US's joint exercises with ally South Korea, which seems to have provoked the nation.
