DICTATOR Kim Jong Un pops his head out of a tank as he unveils his latest war machine.

He said the tank was the “world’s most powerful” and told his troops to prepare for war.

Analyst Yang Uk, of the Asan Institute for Policy Studies, said: “The South Korean-U.S. training is over, but the North’s isn’t over yet.

“They won’t just stand still … they’ve been talking about war.”

North and South Korea have been divided since the end of the Second World War.

Following years of increasingly bloody incidents on the border, South Korea was invaded by the North on June 25, 1950.

It's estimated a total of 2.5 million civilians died in the ensuing war.

The fighting officially ended in 1953 when an armistice was signed and a demilitarised zone created to separate the north and south.

However no peace has never been signed between the two countries.

Technically, the two sides of Korea are still at war.

They are separated by a 160-mile long demilitarised zone which has been the scene of numerous clashes and skirmishes.

Many military experts believe the prospect of a new war is unlikely but tensions between Pyongyang and Seoul have remained extremely high for decades.
