The video begins with footage of North Korea's April 15th military parade commemorating the 105th birthday of the late leader Kim Il-sung. This is followed by images of US aircraft carriers, strategic bombers, and other armored vehicles positioned within simulated targeting reticle of North Korean ship-to-ship and Scud missiles.

In the video, US aircraft carriers appear to be on fire after being attacked by North Korean missiles, with the caption below reading: "The moment when the enemy begins to provoke and act aggressively."

The video was posted amid escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula, with a war of words exchanged between the US and North Korea. Pyongyang warned it was ready to sink the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier, the lead ship of the US task force deployed to the Korean Peninsula.

Last week, North Korea also released a similar video simulating a missile attack on the US on a screen during an art performance celebrating the birthday of leader Kim Il-sung. The missile in the video was believed to be a medium-range ballistic missile, simulated to fly over the Pacific Ocean and strike a US city.
