The U.S. is preparing to intercept up to three North Korean missiles amid fears the rogue communist state could launch an attack today.
The eyes of the world were today on the secretive nation after South Korea warned that the prospect of a missile attack was 'considerably high’.
North Korea's attack system on the east coast is ‘fuelled and ready to launch’ and it has also closed its tourist border with China in a sign of freshly escalating tensions.
But the U.S. insists it is ready to shoot any North Korean missile out of the sky.
The madman dictator is said to be facing an insurgency from within his own military despite threatening to launch missiles that could reach Japan.
As the peninsula edges ever closer to war, there were reports that the military is split over the young dictator's aggression, which may stem from a desire to rein in his discontented but powerful generals.
First Lieutenant Kim, 42, said he had been forced to flee North Korea after he murdered a rival officer as factions in his unit vied for control.
'I killed a three-star company commander, the same rank as me,' he said. 'He was the head of the faction supporting Kim Jong-un. There were two fights. In the first fight, they surrounded us and arrested a lot of people.
