North Korea threatens to ‘reduce US to ashes'
[news.com.au] A NEW threat directed at America and Japan is certain to heighten fears of a North Korean nuclear strike.The Hermit Kingdom’s state agency on Thursday threatened to use nuclear weapons to "sink" Japan and reduce the United States "to ashes and darkness" for supporting new sanctions. Pyongyang’s Korea Asia-Pacific Peace Committee, which handles the North’s external ties and propaganda, also called for the breakup of the Security Council, which it called "a tool of evil" made up of "money-bribed" countries that move at the order of the United States. "The four islands of the archipelago should be sunken into the sea by the nuclear bomb of Juche. Japan is no longer needed to exist near us," the committee said in a statement. The North also targeted the US directly. "Let’s reduce the US mainland into ashes and darkness. Let’s vent our spite with mobilisation of all retaliation means which have been prepared till now," the statement said. The threat follows the release of satellite imagery taken just days after North Korea conducted its sixth nuclear test. The images show the secretive state may be preparing for another blast.
