New York City appears to be under attack in a bizarre propaganda video released by North Korea Saturday.

The unnerving clip, published on YouTube, begins with a young man dreaming about riding aboard a North Korean space shuttle — a rocket similar to the one Pyongyang launched in December.

The sleepy sequence is eventually replaced by disturbing images of a U.S. city with towering skyscrapers set ablaze in a missile attack. Michael Jackson and USA for Africa's 1985 hit "We Are the World" eerily plays in the background.

"Somewhere in the United States, black clouds of smoke are billowing," reads a caption, according to The Guardian. "It seems that the nest of wickedness is ablaze with the fire started by itself."
