U.S. warn North Korea "Weapons are locked and loaded", China will not intervene if North will strike first

U.S President Donald Trump said U.S. is ready to respond, American weapons were "locked and loaded" as North said that they are preparing to launched four missiles near coast of Guam.

Trump keeps on responding war of words on Twitter shortly after the North Korean state news agency, KCNA, put out a statement blaming him for the escalated tensions.

"Trump is driving the situation on the Korean peninsula to the brink of a nuclear war, making such outcries as the U.S will not rule out a war against the DPRK," KCNA said.

Meanwhile China said won't come to North Korea's help if it launches missiles threatening U.S soil and there is retaliation, a state-owned newspaper warned on Friday, but it would intervene if Washington strikes first, Washington post reported.

China has repeatedly warned both Washington and North not to do anything that raises tensions or causes instability on the Korean Peninsula.

"China hopes that all relevant parties will be cautious on their words and actions, and do things that help to alleviate tensions and enhance mutual trust, rathern than walk on the old pathway of taking turns in shows of strength, and upgrading the tensions."
