North Korea’s WAR PARTY: Kim’s kingdom throw celebrations to mark latest missile test

The astonishing images, pumped out by the communist state’s propaganda machine, show joyful scenes as North Koreans take part in a mass rally and admire a fireworks display as the world teeters on the brink of World War 3

Throwing purple and pink pom poms in the air and donning their best party clothes, citizens outrageously celebrate the hermit kingdom’s sixth and largest nuclear test of an advanced hydrogen bomb.

US president Donald Trump warned military action is “not a first choice” but added ominously “we’ll see what happens”. 

But jubilant North Koreans dressed in brightly coloured costumes cheered and threw confetti as the the scientists behind the deadly missile entered Pyongyang’s Kim Il Sung square in a convoy of buses.

Hundreds of beaming and chanting faces formed an adoring sea, with civilians in suits cheered alongside top military brass. 

Korean People’s Army (KPA) soldiers were delighted as the skies lit up with a spectacular fireworks display above Pyongyang. 

The enforced scenes come after Kim Jong-un is looking to capitalise on the success of the latest test. 

It is believed the secretive state now has enough power and technology to fire a missile, which will hit the US. 

As North Korea continues to flex its military muscle there is now mounting international concern the country plans even more weapons tests, possibly of a long-range missile.

After weeks of rising tension, South Korea and the United States have been discussing the deployment of aircraft carriers and strategic bombers to the Korean peninsula.

China is deeply suspicious of any US backed military build up in the region and has repeatedly expressed anger at the deployment of a US anti-missile defence system in South Korea.

North Korea is one of the most secretive regimes, with journalists allowed only limited access on a stage-managed tour of the country. 

Rare images have leaked out of the communist state under Kim Jong-un and paint a grim picture of life full of hardship. 

Away from the set-up shots for foreign media, workers toil in field, children are forced into manual labour, cars are rarely seen and food is scarce in the country which is thought to be teetering on the edge of starvation.
