North Korea has warned it will wipe the US 'off the face of the Earth' as well as accusing America of planning a chemical weapons attack.

In a new report published by state media today, the country's totalitarian regime has claimed Donald Trump's administration is plotting an 'unprecedented disaster' on the nation.

Authorities in the country say they will not remain a 'passive onlooker' and that they will move to destroy the US in response.

State newspaper The Rodong Sinmun said: "The DPRK will never remain a passive onlooker to the moves of the U.S. to provoke a biochemical war against it but will conclude the standoff with the U.S., the empire of evils, by wiping it off the face of the Earth.

"The U.S. must not disregard the warning of the DPRK that its reckless military moves would lead to its most miserable final doom."

The report, entitled 'U.S. Biochemical War Plan against Korean Nation under Fire', claimed the US is plotting a chemical weapons attack on the country.

The state newspaper adds: "The U.S. has fully revealed its criminal scenario to make no scruple of using biochemical weapons to exterminate the Korean nation in order to realize its wild ambition for dominating the world.

"Recently, the U.S. is busy floating the wild rumor about "threat from biochemical weapons" of the DPRK. Lurking behind this is its sinister design to secure a pretext for provoking a biochemical war against the DPRK."

The country has frequently claimed the US government was preparing a biochemical attack that would overthrow Kim Jong-un

It comes as tensions rise between the US and North Korea.

Russian President Vladimir Putin was reported earlier this week to be sending troops and equipment to the North Korean border over fears the US are about to attack Kim Jong-un's country.

Putin is said to be worried a huge number of North Koreans will attempt to leave the country if US President Donald Trump begins military action in the country.

Earlier this week, it was reported that China will be sending 150,000 of their soldiers to the southern frontier to help control a 'tidal wave' of North Koreans who would try to flee if war breaks out

Footage which purportedly shows the Russian military reinforcing the border has appeared on YouTube.

In the clip, you can see three trains loaded with equipment making their way towards the 11-mile border. Other reports have claimed military vehicles have been using the roads, too.

There have been concerns of a 'mass exodus' for several weeks, as the tensions between North Korea and the US have ramped up.

Putin has been warned that in the case of an airstrike on Kim Jong-un's nuclear facilities contamination could quickly reach Russia.

One Russian news source, primemedia.ru, wrote: "Railway trains loaded with military equipment moving towards Primorsky region via Khabarovsk have been noticed by locals.

"The movement of military equipment by different means of transport to southern areas is being observed across Primorsky region over the past week," said military veteran Stanislav Sinitsyn.

"Many relate this to the situation in the Korean peninsula.

"The video shows artillery systems that either support troops in assault or meet the aggressor."

The US Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, has announced he wants to put pressure on North Korea over their nuclear programme.

He said: "We're reviewing all the status of North Korea, both in terms of state sponsorship of terrorism as well as the other ways in which we can bring pressure on the regime in Pyongyang to re-engage with us."

Kim Jong-un, on the other hand, has promised a 'super-mighty pre-emptive strike', telling the US not to 'mess with us'.
