The Telegraph: Amid escalating tensions in the Korean Peninsula, Pyongyang releases footage of Kim Jong-un joining in with some target practice during a military drill. The latest crisis in relations on the Korean peninsula follows anger in Pyongyang about sanctions against its nuclear programme and joint military drills involving US and South Korean forces.

The North’s military warned yesterday that it had been authorised to attack the US and South Korea’s defence minister claimed its neighbour had moved a missile with “considerable range” to the east coast, potentially able to hit targets in the South or Japan.South Korea has reportedly deployed two warships with missile-defence systems in response.
