The crazy leader of the Hermit state is fuming after three of his soldiers defected to the South in just one week.

And tensions are at an all-time high with Japanese troops lining up, Russian fighter jets circling and US bombers roaring overhead.

Now he's ready to strike back and wreak his revenge on the world by testing another long-range missile.

And experts fear today is the day.

Sunday, June 25 will mark the anniversary of the Korean War which was sparked by the North's invasion of its neighbours.

Analysts believe Kim will use this as his big chance to show off his deadly toys on the world stage, and potentially spark all-out war.

"With these important dates on the North Korean state calendar, they can dial them up and dial them down as they want to," John Delury, an associate professor at the Yonsei University Graduate School of International Studies in Seoul, told CNN.

US spy satellites have already picked up activity at the North's underground nuclear test site, backing the theory.

And just on Friday the country conducted another rocket engine test which US officials fear is a precursor to Kim’s development of a nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile.

Jean Lee, a lecturer on North Korean studies, says the idea of carrying out tests on important dates is the country's perfect opportunity to trumpet its strength.

"I think it's safe to say that they will conduct another nuclear test at some point," Lee told CNN recently.

"But they do calibrate the timing very carefully and are really taking a number of factors into consideration."

Pyongyang and Washington are now at loggerheads after US student Otto Warmbier died just days after his release from Kim's torturous gulag.

His death sparked a furious reaction from Donald Trump who slammed the North as a "brutal regime", and even described dictator Kim as a "madman".

His comments then led to an outraged Kim blasting Trump a "terrorist" and "psychopath".

The crazy leader even went one step further by pledging to "mercilessly annihilate" the US for their "warmongering" over the student's death.

And according to CCN, US officials have said the site is now ready to explode another nuclear device.
