While everyone's still slack-jawed over the sight of four massive Hwasong-15 missile on their TELs, I think its important to point out a far more shocking newcomer is what appears to be a copy of the Russian 9K720 Iskander.

The U.S. director of national intelligence warned on Tuesday that time was running out for the United States to act on the threat posed by North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.

North Korea presents “a potentially existential” threat to the United States and is likely to conduct more weapons tests this year, Dan Coats said at the Senate Intelligence Committee’s annual hearing on “Worldwide Threats.”

“Decision time is becoming ever closer in terms of how we respond to this,” Coats said. “Our goal is a peaceful settlement. We are using maximum pressure on North Korea in various ways.”

Põhja-Korea, Lõuna-Korea ja USA esindajad kohtuvad Soomes, et rääkida Põhja-Korea tuumarelvadest loobumisest, teatasid Lõuna-Korea ja Soome ametnikud CNN-ile.

Läbirääkimistel Soomes osalevad ka USA esindajad, kes ei ole valitsusametnikud, teatas Soome välisministeeriumi ametnik Kimmo Lähdevirta.

Lõuna-Korea välisministeerium teatas CNN-ile, et „teise taseme” läbirääkimistel tuumarelvadest loobumise üle osalevad Lõuna-Koreast endised ametnikud ja eraviisilised eksperdid. Ministeerium andis mõista, et mingil viisil on esindatud ka USA.

Lähdevirta sõnul ei osale USA praegusi ametnikke. Ta ei osanud öelda, kes tulevad Põhja- ja Lõuna-Koreast.

Soome välisministeeriumi sõnul Soome ainult korraldab kohtumise, aga ise ei osale.

North and South Korea are apparently going to agree to bring an end to the decades-long military conflict on the Korean Peninsula, a South Korean newspaper reported Tuesday.

The leaders of North and South Korea – Kim Jong Un and President Moon Jae-in, respectively – are slated to meet next week, in advance of the tri-nation summit with President Donald Trump sometime before May.

It was reported that the two nations are going to officially put an end to the Korean military conflict, which technically lasted from 1950 to 1953 but was ended with a truce, not a peace treaty, according to the South Korean newspaper Munhwa Ilbo, which cited an unnamed South Korean official.

The two nations could also discuss the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that separates them, and possibly return it to its original state, the newspaper reported.

It was recently announced that North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un agreed to meet at a summit with President Trump, and that North Korea is also willing to talk denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

While the date and location of the three-way summit have not been announced, the North-South Korean meeting is set for April 27.

Lõuna-Korea president teatas, et Pyongyang soovib Korea poolsaare täielikku tuumavabaks muutmist ega sea sellele mingeid eeltingimusi.
