According to reports, an official North Korean website warned that Pyongyang would ‘wipe out’ the United States if Washington starts a war on the peninsula. A media report said, “The world will witness how Washington's rash nuclear aircraft carriers are turned into a huge pile of steel and buried at sea and how a country called America is wiped out from the Earth". Notably, the US Vice President Mike Pence on Saturday said that the US supercarrier Carl Vinson will arrive in waters off the Korean peninsula in a matter of days.
