Kim has warned Britain to cancel the operation immediately
Britain is scheduled to carry out its first joint air operations with the US and South Korea next month amid escalating tensions between Pyongyang and Seoul.
The UK plans to send six BAE Eurofighter Typhoon combat jets, 2 Voyager tanker aircraft and 2 C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft to the exercise, joining F-15K and KF-16 fighters from South Korea and F-16 fighters from U.S
RAF Voyager Tanker prepares for operation invincible shield.
KCNA spokesman
But furious Kim has warned the UK not to go forward with the operation, condemning it as a hostile act.
A spokesman for state-owned Korean Central News (KCNA) agency warned: “This is a never-to-be pardoned serious challenge to peace and security.”
The spokesman also said Britain should “immediately withdraw its decision to take part in the military drills for aggression”.
KCNA went on to warn that the military equipment involved in the drills will be within the site of the Pyongyang’s military.

Britain is due to send Eurofighter Typhoon jets to join the operation. Typhoons can be equipped with 2,000lb Enhanced Paveway III (EPWIII) bunker buster bombs.
The communist state's inflammatory comments come just weeks after South Korea’s Air Force announced it will stage the Invincible Shield drill with Britain and the US from November 4-10.
The drill is a bid to improve Seoul’s capabilities to attack North Korea’s major leadership facilities and intercept incoming aerial assaults.
The warning comes amid heightened tensions between Pyongyang and South Korea following Kim’s nuclear test in January which has been followed by a series of ballistic missile launches.
Terrifying new satellite images recently revealed the tyrant could be ready for war after making significant progress in developing nuclear weapons.
The despot’s military has the capability to launch nuclear tests from three different reactors at its Punggye-ri nuclear site.
And now spy satellites have spotted trucks entering one of the underground tunnels where bombs could be assembled.

New satellite images suggest North Korea could be ready for war
A large canopy appears to be hiding materials near one of the portals – sparking fears the North could be concealing secret goods used for tests.
Images show increased activity near the south portal, which has been untouched since 2012.
Watchdog 38 North, which monitors the secretive Communist country, said: “Recent commercial satellite imagery of the Punggye-ri nuclear test site from October 1 indicates continuing activity at all three tunnel complexes that could be used to conduct a nuclear test.”
