North Korea further ramped up its belligerent rhetoric, releasing a new propaganda video that simulated strikes on the White House and a U.S. aircraft carrier.
The nearly two-and-a-half-minute video — released by state-run outlet Arirang-Meari — put 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in crosshairs and showed a carrier in flames along with scenes of missile launches and jingoistic parade footage.
Set to a soaring score, Wednesday’s military preening also featured four missiles assailing the USS Carl Vinson strike group — which the U.S. recently directed to the Korean Peninsula — as well as other short- and medium-range ballistic missiles, according to NK News.
Threats of nuclear war made by top North Korean official Choe Ryong Hae at a parade last week play over the beginning of the video.
