Pyongyang:
North Korea is now armed with "powerful mobile weapons" capable of striking America, claimed a senior army official.
The Vice Marshal Ri Yong Ho emphasized the importance of defending the North against the US and South Korea, as Pyongyang marks the 80th anniversary of the nation's army today.
He told officials that the weapons could defeat the US "at a single blow."
North Korea made another unusual claim on Monday, promising "special actions" that would reduce Seoul's government to ashes.
North Korea is believed to have nuclear weapons but not the technology to put them on long-range missiles. A rocket launch that the US claimed was a North Korean attempt to test missile technology failed this month.
