North Korea says on full combat readiness
YEONPYEONG, South Korea - North Korea on Monday said it had put its armed forces on full combat readiness in response to the start of annual military exercises by U.S. and South Korean troops, raising tension on the divided peninsula. In a statement read on state television, a fierce-voiced military official also warned that any attempt to shoot down the long-range missile the reclusive state plans to launch soon would be seen as an act of war.

Pyongyang routinely accuses the United States and South Korea of aggressive intentions with the exercises, but the rhetoric this time has been more strident.
They're trying to push Bambi to see just how far backwards he'll bend.
It called the drills a provocation that would only occur "on the eve of a war," and threatened to cut off its hotline with the South's military--the one telephone link between the two armies who are massed either side of the border that has divided them for more than half a century.

U.S. Marines will conduct live-fire drills north of Seoul and within an hour's drive from the border. A U.S. aircraft carrier will take part in the exercises, the U.S. military said.
