A new propaganda video out of North Korea shows a simulated attack on the White House and U.S. Capitol. The video, CNN reported Tuesday, was posted Monday on the North Korean government website Uriminzokkiri.

The simulated attack on the U.S. comes just before the 3:00 mark, while a narrator says, “The White house has been captured in the view of our long-range missile, and the capital of war is within range of our atomic bomb,” according to CNN

Earlier this month, North Korea threatened a nuclear attack against the U.S. in response to harsh sanctions. But the isolated country is not believed to have the means to launch a nuclear strike against America, the Associated Press reported at the time. 

Two North Korea propaganda videos made headlines in February. One video imagined President Obama in flames, and another used images from the video game “Call of Duty” to imagine Manhattan in flames.
