North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has told his military chiefs to prepare for war against the South in 2015, it has been claimed.
According to South Korea's largest daily newspaper, a source has revealed that the dictator plans to invade and has ordered the army to remain 'combat-ready'.
The source told the Chosun Ilbo: 'Armed confrontation could take place on the Korean peninsula in 2015,' IBT reports.
They added: 'Since he came to power in late 2011, Kim Jong-un has often said his aim is reunification "through force" and that he would personally drive a tank and advance into Seoul.'

While the Chosun Ilbo paper is well respected and informed, South Korean reports are often over sensationalised.
It comes as South Koreans gathered in the capital of Seoul today to protest against the North firing nuclear missiles off the Korean coast.
Kim Jong-Un’s army test-launched two Nodong medium-range ballistic missiles into the sea off the peninsula's east coast, according to South Korea's defence ministry.
The North Korean missiles were set off into the sea shortly after 5.30pm GMT on Tuesday, just as the leaders of its rivals Japan and South Korea sat down to a meeting with U.S. president Barack Obama.
The firing off the missiles also coincided with the fourth anniversary of the sinking of the South Korean navy ship the Cheonan, for which Seoul blames North Korea.
The Cheonan was sunk in the Yellow Sea near the inter-Korean maritime border, leaving 46 people dead or missing and presumed dead.
