DUBAI: North Korea has released an action-packed propaganda video showing a US aircraft carrier being blown up.
The video features images taken from North Korean ballistic missile launches as well as snaps of South Korean and American military exercises.
Then, an image of the USS Carl Vinson on fire is shown while a female narrator excitably says: “A knife will be stabbed into the throat of the carrier.”
Pyongyang released a similar video in 2013, during a period of heightened tensions with Washington.

The video was released after US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s statement on Friday that pre-emptive military action could be on the table.
“Let me be very clear: The policy of strategic patience has ended,” he said in South Korea. “We are exploring a new range of diplomatic, security and economic measures. All options are on the table.”
“The nuclear force of (North Korea) is the treasured sword of justice and the most reliable war deterrence to defend the socialist motherland and the life of its people,” the official Korean Central News Agency quoted a spokesman for North Korea’s Foreign Ministry as saying on Monday.
