THE UNITED States has issued a stark warning to North Korea, saying it is ready for war at any time after conducting military drills in the South China Sea.
On Saturday, F-18 Super Hornet jet fighters were deployed from Washington’s largest US warship in Asia - USS ‘Ronald Reagan’ - in what was described as a “routine” exercise.
The drills indictate how tensions have escalated on the Korean peninsula amid fears of a nuclear war breaking out.
Rear Admiral Marc Dalton, commander of the Reagan’s strike group, said that while Pyongyang’s missile tests and nuclear program was a “growing and concerning danger”, his task force was ready if North Korea resort to military action.
He said: “As a forward deployed force. . . we are already where we need to be to execute our missions all the time.”
