North Korea dictator Kim Jong-un has told military officials to be ready to execute orders "at any time" as one expert suggests the United States is not ready

Kim Jong-un is reportedly ramping up North Korea's nuclear programme and he has ordered the military to ensure his missiles are combat ready.
Military officials have been told they should be ready to execute his orders "at any time", according to a high-ranking source.
The order was issued this week and troops were put on alert, before the secretive communist state celebrated the birthday of its founder Kim Il-Sung, at an event known as the Sun Festival.
One source close to the regime claims it is unusual for such an order to be issued during the week of the festival, reports The Sun.
Reports suggest another short-range ballistic missiles test could be carried out in the coming weeks, after a satellite image, published by 38 North, revealed a recently modified missile test barge had returned to a shipyard in a major military hub this week.
