KCNA: "Sea of Fire" for Japan if...
North Korea threatened on Thursday to turn Japan into a "nuclear sea of fire" if it comes under attack from the United States. "If the United States ignites a nuclear war, the US military bases in Japan would serve as a detonating fuse to turn Japan into a nuclear sea of fire," the North's ruling party newspaper Rodong Sinmun said in a Korean-language article monitored by South Korea's Yonhap news agency. It was one of the most searing North Korean threats directed against Japan, Yonhap said. The Stalinist North has accused Tokyo of supporting what it sees as a US campaign to isolate it. In an English-language article published by Pyongyang's official KCNA news agency, Rodong accused the United States of converting Japan into "strategic vantage points" for a pre-emptive attack on North Korea.
