The announcement ominously warned the regime would "reduce America to ashes" and added: "Don't mess with us."

But US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson appeared to tone down America's stance and said it is looking for ways to "bring pressure on the regime" to "re-engage".

The latest insults come just one day after footage emerged of a bizarre North Korean musical in which an American city was destroyed by North Korean nukes.

A symphony orchestra played as one of Kim's missiles hurtled into the US and revealed a smouldering Stars and Stripes flag.

Military figures watched on gleefully as uniformed troops from the Korean State Merited Chorus belted out a series of tuneless numbers.

And in a verse unlikely to make its way onto Broadway any time soon, one warbled: "Our proud Hwasong rocket blasts off" and "it flies as quickly as a flash of lightning to challenge imperialism".

Others played trumpets as the 90s-style film saw a ballistic missile roar into America.

Accompanying it are the words: "If US imperialists move an inch toward us, we will immediately hit them with nukes.”

The bizarre video was played at the 105th birthday celebration of Kim's late grandfather Kim Il-Sung at the weekend.

His regime had earlier that day put on a huge military procession to show off the country's ballistic missile arsenal.

The tubby tyrant lapped up the adoration as thousands of troops marched in capital Pyongyang to celebrate the birth of the country's founder Kim Il-Sung.

But Kim was left licking his wounds one day later when his latest ballistic missile test exploded seconds after launch.

American hackers are reported to have tried to sabotage the latest test.

A US fleet President Donald Trump had claimed was sailing for the Korean peninsula was today revealed to be heading in the opposite direction.
