Russia has reportedly moved weapons towards Vladivostok, just eight miles from the border with North Korea.
The city is within striking distance of Kim Jong-un’s secretive state.
Although unconfirmed by the Russian government, the movement of tanks and missiles was spotted by terrified people living in the border city and posted on social media.
According to reports, the military convoy caught on camera included eight surface-to-air missiles, all part of Russian Air Defence.
Vladimir Putin already has a major navy base in Vladivostok.
The threat comes after warnings from top experts that North Korea will have as many as 60 nuclear weapons in just three years unless urgent action is taken.
Kim Jong-un has already warned North Korea is prepared for all-out war with the US.
In retaliation, footage of US warplanes preparing for battle was released as a chilling warning to the tubby tyrant.
Donald Trump is said to be “preparing to strike” amid growing tensions over North Korea’s nuclear weapons.
The US president appears to be ramping up his military capabilities after dropping a Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb (MOAB) on ISIS tunnels in Afghanistan last week.
But since the emergence of the Vladivostok footage, fears have grown that North Korea could become the trigger for a conflict involving the US, China and Russia.
Both China and Russia consider North Korea as a necessary buffer state, which they need to keep stable for their own national security.
It comes just days after Rex Tillerson, US secretary of state, said relations between Washington and Moscow are at an all time “low point”.
China has pleaded for the US and North Korea to back down.
On Friday, China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi warned that "conflict could break out at any moment".
He said: “We call on all parties to refrain from provoking and threatening each other and not to let the situation get to an irreversible and unmanageable stage.”
