North Korea issues nuclear 'warning signal' to US, South Korea

The Haekbangashoe system, known as the "nuclear trigger," oversees North Korea's military posture to respond to any nuclear attack, even though the country has approved pre-emptive strikes.

The drill’s main purpose, however, was to "demonstrate the reliability, superiority, might and diverse means" of the country’s nuclear forces and the Haekbangashoe system that serves as "a clear warning signal to the enemies" of North Korea, according to the Pyongyang Times.  Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news. 

The Haekbangashoe system, which means "nuclear trigger," included the maneuver of troops into a "counterattack posture" that aimed at "substantially strengthening the prompt counterattack capacity of the state nuclear force."
