Even as North Korea described the United States’ push for sanctions following its fifth nuclear test as “laughable”, implying that Pyongyang would continue to strengthen its nuclear power, the South Korean military has developed a new operational concept to annihilate the isolated North with a barrage of pre-emptive missile firings once signs of a nuclear attack are detected, Korea Times reported quoting defense sources.
A source said the plan, dubbed, Korea Massive Punishment and Retaliation (KMPR), is intended to launch pre-emptive attacks on North Korean leader Kim Jong-un as well as the regime’s military leadership if signs of their impending use of nuclear weapons are detected or in the event of a war.
Under the KMPR, the military would divide Pyongyang into several districts and completely destroy a certain section in which Kim and other military leadership are suspected to be hiding, before they use a nuclear weapon, the source said.
